Used 2002 Volkswagen Golf Consumer Reviews
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.
Great Ecomomy Car
This is the first new car I have owned, and for the most part I have been very happy with it. My only complaints are associated with the build quality, and the electronic features. I had 3 warranty repairs (glow plug wireing, airbag wire harness, rear windsheild wiper wireing). Do you see a trend? The Monsoon stereo stopped working, and I had a glow plug go bad. Total spend to date on repairs, just over $200. I still love this car, despite it's little problems. You really can't beat it with anything in its class.

2002 TDI Golf
I had a probelm with the front passenger door- water was getting in through the mirror area. It took the dealer four times for the probelm to be fixed after I had threatened them with the lemon law.
Need improvement
Had this car with manual tranny for 21 months. Basically I am happy with the performance and still think this is a fun-to-drive car. Quality is a biiiig problem. So far dealer had to fix/change clutch swtich, rear lid strut and power window. Today, the radio is dead.
Wow--love the TDi!
I needed fun car for a daily commute of 100 miles. The high MPG figure attracted me but I remain amazed at the TDi's power as well as the car's "fun factor. My other car is a 2002 Accord and this car beats the Accord for fun, quality, MPG and hopefully for reliability.
