2002 Volkswagen Golf GLS 2.0 Review
ProsSafety is not an optional with volkswagen. ConsAvoid off-roading of any kind. Kit is extremely low.
45
Rocks. — Great acceleration and handling. Braking suffers a bit due to body mass causing lots of inertia. Its build is comparable to a Panzer tank, pure German style - undestructable. Its interior is feeling the wear and tear of every day use for over eight years. Average gas mileage and maintenance is a bit expensive compared to other cars of the same market level. It is always fun driving a golf! Primary Use: Commuting to work

Gt Tdi 130 — Performance and economy. Awesome! Looks good out of past and current golf range. Solid build qualty. When you put your foot down the torque is incredible and pulls you back into your seat. You never knew that a diesel could be any better. Cheap on car tax and insurance premium. | ||

A Fun Car For Every Day + Even Perfect For A Couple's Vacations — Doesn't consume much gas and works with the less expensive ones (88 and 91). It's a manual so it gives the driver more control and makes it even more fuel efficient Has all the options needed (sun roof, heated seats, CD player...) Robust as most VW's! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Buy It If You Have Extra Money And You Do Not Care About Spending It On Car — Nice car, really love it but it is a big headeach when opens her mouse for any break down or maintainance. It is perfect in case you are rich and ready to spend on maintainance and expensive spare parts.....go for Japaneese cars do not use complicated german once. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
