Overview

Reviews

Once again, the 4-door GL hatchback was at the center of the Volkswagen Golf universe for 1996. As in years before, the GL was powered by 115-hp, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. It was linked to a five-speed manual transmission, which was standard equipment; a four-speed automatic was available as an option. Standard features included updated cloth seats, power brakes, power steering, power door locks, dual airbags, an anti-theft alarm system, and an AM/FM/cassette audio system. Air conditioning was among the options. A glovebox, which had disappeared when the passenger-side airbag was added a few years earlier, also returned as a standard feature. Other trim packages in the Golf lineup include the GTI, the GTI VR6, and the TDI, which came with a turbodiesel engine and was available in only very limited quantities to U.S. buyers. The sporty GTI package came with the same 115-hp 4-cylinder that was used in the GL, but added anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, a sunroof, and cruise control to the list of standard features. The GTI VR6 came with a more powerful 172-hp, 2.8-liter V6 engine and a tighter suspension. And the TDI, where available, was powered by a 90-hp, 1.9-liter diesel engine with turbo direct injection. Although some drivers noted problems (sometimes extensive) with their cars, overall drivers were enamored with the Golf, and some even became strongly loyal to the car. The Golf's dependability, styling, roominess, and safety features were noted as positive points by drivers.

All in respect to its category :) Performance - fast acc, braking medium, handling easy/good, fast cornering Build quality - Only electric window and door lock replaced, exhaust rattled a bit (with a little prof. exhaust kit resolved it), rust free Appearance - metallic looks briliant, no dents, no scratches, 2 minor chips from stones // interior as new Cost of ownership - cheap maintenance, 1:15 Fun factor - Fast and reliable, fun at trafficlights :)

I drive this car because its great on gas, and it rides well. I also can fit the whole family in this car along with whatever else we need and still get 34 miles per gallon. Its pretty reliable for everyday driving. That said I will say its a 96, and its starting to show its age and volkswagen does like to design this a little...odd if your repairing your own car, but it workds. So I do need to find a newer car in the near future, but giving they way this golf has performed with winter and hot summer days on the road for all the years Im sure I will be buying another VW.

No the fastest thing, but gets great gas mileage. I think it looks great but it's a hate it or love it kind of car. It gets lots of attention everywhere I go, some negative, but mostly positive. It was pretty cheap but only has 82k miles on it and it runs great. Perfect mechinical shape and I couldn't ask for a better car for $3200.

Everything works as it should, parts a cheap enough to come by as most as still manufactured. Huge second hand market for spare parts also.
