Great car - I Bought It Twice
lowblackdub, 01/15/2006
1994 Volkswagen Golf GL 4dr Hatchback
I just re-purchased my 1994 Volkswagen Golf four years after selling it. It was such a good car and the only car I ever regret selling. I've covered 180,000 kms. in it and it has been solid, with no major problems to speak of. It still looks, rides, and runs like it did eleven years ago when I originally purchased it.

Good car as long as nothing breaks

1994 Volkswagen Golf GL 4dr Hatchback
This car is great as long as you don't
have to replace parts. Volkswagen
parts are through the roof! I love my
VW, but I need to part with it to get a
car that has affordable parts.

Good and Bad

1994 Volkswagen Golf GL 2dr Hatchback
My 1994 Volkswagen Golf is expensive to fix, have has had lots of problems as its mileage increases. However, it is fun to drive, has very good pick up, and is faster than newer cars that I have driven.

great little car

1993 Volkswagen Golf GL 4dr Hatchback
This is an excellent car. I deliver pizza, so I put tons of miles on it and it never shows. I did have a problem with the stock alarm, but that was fixed without any real expenses (loose bolt in the door). Its fun to drive and has great handling and brakes. The acceleration can seem a little wimpy, but you get used to it (Im used to my brothers 1997 GTI). I highly recommend this … car, its reliable, cheap on gas, and fun to drive, great for sustained 80 mph+ speeds as well.
