Used 1995 Volkswagen Golf for Sale near Cedar Rapids, IA
The Volkswagen Golf got a power boost in 1995 thanks to the new GTI VR6 trim package, which featured a 2.8-liter, 172-hp V6 engine linked to a five-speed manual transmission. The GTI VR6 joined the 2- and 4-door GL hatchback versions, which have long been the backbone of the Golf lineup, as well as the new entry-level Golf City and the mid-level Golf Celebration trim packages. They were powered by a 115-hp, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that was a holdover from the previous year.
Standard features for the Golf included power disc brakes, power door locks, power steering, a rear window defroster and rear window wiper, dual airbags, child safety locks, rear shoulder seatbelts, an anti-theft alarm system, and an AM/FM/cassette audio system.
The Golf's handling, roominess, and power were cited as positive points by drivers, but some also noted that their cars needed frequent repairs, which could be expensive. A number of drivers also decried the lack of a glovebox.
4.4 Overall rating
(56 reviews)Performance: Good Cruiser, brakes good, handles nice and tight for a soft top. Build Quality: Good. Appearance: Nice, looks great with the top down. Cost of Ownership: Cheap to insure and fuel. Fun Factor: Lots of fun in the summer
Awesome car, comfortable, fast, beautiful, stable and a real nice drive experience. Here at Brasil it insurance is very very expensive, making it "undoable" but the car is a very very good cost/benefit rate. The best car I have ever owned (not owned so much, but it worth every cents.)
I love my 1995 VW golf (named Scarlett). It's over 210,000 miles right now and still runs well. It is small, fast, and fun to drive, economical, cheap and easy to fix, reliable, easy to park, has a fantastic turning radius (U-Turn on a narrow city streets for a parking place? No problem!), can carry more than many suvs (I've packed it with 25 18" CMUs at Home Depot), comes in red, low maintenance cost, running great at over 210,000 miles, can drive several 12-hour days at 70-miles per hour with no problems. If it wasn't getting dowdy looking and smelly inside I'd keep driving it forever.
My golf is a 1300 Carburettor, with a 4-speed gearbox. It pulls well off the line and builds up good speed in second. It's apple green and has body modifications, with 15" mag wheels. Engine is stock except for a e-ram supercharger for drag races.
Actually gets a little better fuel economy when you don't try to squeeze extra miles out by running at lower rpm's... I guess I was just lugging it. Regardless I haven't broken 26 mpg yet, so not great for a 2-door hatchback. Great fun to drive and even at a brisk interstate speed it always has power to accelerate. Decent cargo space for a small car. Good rear seats but I wish it had better hookups for a child's seat. Technically it seats five, but I have done it and that was a cramped ride!
