best little car ever

1992 Volkswagen Golf GL 4dr Hatchback
6 great years with this car and i will
miss it. Very dependable, peppy and
heaps of room for cargo. only two
problems experienced were with one
window that fell into the door and
needed to be repaired, and a dashboard
light that worked only sporatically
since I bought it (was never repaired
due to steep labour cost to change the
$5 bulb). Strong, heavy build - great …
in the snow.

1990 Volkswagen Golf GL 4dr Hatchback
My first car. She was the car that
could. She could: go fast, drink no
gas, pull the people, move the dresser,
look good, park in any spot, feel racey.
She Couldn't: survive the snow :(
Alas my poor car died in the snow and I
sold her to a mechanic... going strong
now apparently...

1990 Volkswagen Golf GL 2dr Hatchback
I bought my VW used and owned it for 8
years and absolutely loved it! Nothing
major ever went wrong. Only had to
replace brakes, muffler, etc. I would
recommend this car to anyone. Only
problem - any mechanic I talked to said
VW's are so hard to fix. I had trouble
with mechanics trying to fix it and not
knowing how to. Great gas mileage and
after 12 years, never once … did I have
trouble starting it on a winter
morning. The heater worked so well it
was like being in a sauna after 5
minutes. I wrecked it 3 months ago and
am still mourning "my best friend."
This car would have ran another 10
years.
