Used 2003 Volkswagen Golf Consumer Reviews
151,000 miles and still going
My Golf TDI is going on 14 years-old. I bought it brand new and wouldn't part with it for anything. I have followed the owners Manuel as directed, changed the timing belt just under 100,00 miles as suggested even though there was no problem. Changed the oil faithfully, and addressed all other regular issues as advised via the owners manual. I have kept seat covers on it and the original cloth seats look like new. The other day a stranger rang my doorbell and offered me $6,000 for it....I'm like no way. I hope I will never have to part with my little Golf buddy after 14 years I still Love driving it.

VW solid dependability
I have owned my Golf TDI GLS for about 2.5 years and it has been a great car. It's tough, it's fun, it's well built and sturdy, and it is tremendous with fuel mileage. I love everything but the seats. The driver's seat (for me) is not as comfortable as my old Mercedes but, I will find, and pay the expense for, a set of GTI heated leather seats for this car. It's not worth getting rid of the car! I am a taller/big guy and I still fit in this car and it's road handling and performance is magnificent. Buy one of these, you won't regret it! -CR

As good as it gets
Very practical. And a pleasure to drive.

This is a super fun drive. Lots of interior room with the seats down. The car gets pretty good gas mileage.
Squeaking nightmare
We upgraded to this one-year-old Golf from VW Polo. There is not as much legroom as you expect from a bigger car a bit more for your head, compared to the Polo. Driver and passenger sitting positions are far too high you feel like falling out of the car every corner (the new Golf V is better). We have the TDI Match edition in UK it has Alloys, CD, radio, Central locking, Electric windows, Air Con, Alarm and Immobiliser which is almost full Christmas wish list fulfilled. Driving this car is a nightmare especially in summer the car (where the interior panels warm up in sunshine and expand) we had to go to the dealer to fix this...
