1996 Volkswagen Golf User Reviews

Golf 2.8 Vr6 — Absolutely love everything about it!! She's a wolf in sheeps clothing. Extremely fast. Only my second car but I can not see myself in any other car. Loads of fun to drive, especially when the little boy racers rev their engines etc and expect to leave you behind them, hahahahaha, My car will blow most cars away!! hahahaha

Mk 3 1996 Golf — Great Running VW. 115hp 2.0 l 4cyl engine and 5 speed transmission moves it along good. Handles like a slot car. Hold corners great. Pushes 40 mpg with a K&N Cone Filter and a Cat-back exhaust. Only problem that VW didn't get away from is Shoddy electrical components and floor pan seam rust out issues. Also overly complicated and sensitive engine management system. Catalytic Converters prone to burning out. Other wise a great Little Car. Easy to work on. Bullet proof Drive train if you don't dump the clutch every time you take off like a teenage punk.

Golf — Previsouly owned a golf. Was only the 1.6 model, but a decent enough car. Built like a tank, it still started after writing it off! Good solid engine, their only problem is they sit very high which creates a lot of body roll round corners. A car that must be lowered. Mark III Golfs got a little bit of stick which I don't think is fair. A very good and well built car, just don't expect what you get form earlier Golfs.

Good Old Golf — Cheapest car I ever bought. Golf is like new still, always works perfectly, very comfy, lots of power, loves to cruise, corners very well, has lots of room, ya! We don't use it much, but it does come in handy at times. I of course prefer two wheels if possible but when you need to take me, the wife and three dogs somewhere that doesn't work well.

Small And Quick — I live in Atlanta so it was great for getting around the city. The motor was bullet proof, but the body rotted.
