Used 2002 Volkswagen Golf Consumer Reviews
Fun car with good value
Bought my Golf GLS 5M on the last of Year 2001, now have 6000 miles on the odo. Great performance, beating many sport cars at the stop lights. Lots of fun to drive and good value for the money. The car did have some minor problems, I got three parts changed under warranty and one recall. So far satisfied with the purchase.

Why did i buy one?
Once I saw the Golf, i fell in love with it. But the car has been brought at least 8 times back to VW for repairs. My car came with a broken light, a leak in the sealing around the rear window, and a busted alarm. The alarm took several visits to fix. Then the transmission as acting up. The car needed to red-line to change gear, the car felt as if it was forcing itself to move. The car is now has suspension issues. The suspension equalizer bar needed lubrification (why was it missing in the first place?),but still have the whistling sound coming from the front of the car after hitting some bumps. Please avoid.
Great car crummy radio
Great car, great milage, Ist's a 5 speed. Love the ride and performance. I'm 6'2" vertical adjustments on seat and steering column are wonderful. Easy in and out Gotta fix the radio. I'm on my second one and now the AM is dead and the left-front speakers cut in and out. Dealer is trying but I need to stay on top of them. I'd buy one again but with the cheap radio and then go aftermarket.
Really happy with my first VW
This is my first exp. owning a VW and I am very pleased so far. This car is deceivingly roomy, esp. in the trunk. My Golf is so much fun to drive and it's great on gas mileage ( I always use midgrade gas, that seems to make a difference). I have had no problems with the service department, actually they have been very helpful. The only problems we've encountered so far are the doors freezing shut in the winter. The door seals on both front doors were ripped/broken in the process of trying to pry the doors open. Service dept. has taken care of this with no charge.
