Used 2002 Volkswagen GTI Consumer Reviews
awsome
fast, fun to drive reliable i love it
We'll See
2002 GTI fully loaded. Problems from the day one. The "Brake" light blinks with warning sound randomly. I first took it to Gilboy VW in Allentown didn't do anything and when I told them problem didn't go away they didn't even asked me to bring the car back. They really sucked in service. They even messed up my radio treble knob. it was keep coming off I told them to fix and all they did was glue them back together and not alighned. I took it to Lehigh Valley VW twice and first they topped off brake fluid. problem still persist.. Second time they adjusted parking brake switch. no It's been almost a week.. I'll have to see if the problme ever come back.
Wow
The new VR-6 and the six speed manual is a dream combo. The Golf body makes it just dorky enough to have the cops ignore it.
GTIIIIIEEEE!!!
GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIP! VERY HELPFUL! IF YOU ARE IN DFW AND IN THE MARKET FOR A VW THESE GUYS ARE IT! THE CAR IS GREAT TO DRIVE. TOUGHEST THING IS TO KEEP MY FOOT OUT OF THE FOOT WELL (LIKES TO GO). THE MOTOR IS EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH. REVS LIKE A SEWING MACHINE AND TONS OF TORQUE. NO WAITING FOR THE VTECH TO WORK. NOW POWER! THE 6SPEEDS ARE ICING ON THE CAKE! SPRINGS ARE ON THE TO DO LIST TO SHARPEN HANDLING. OTHER THAN THAT, HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES!
VW Has Lost Its Way
I purchased my first VW for $300 in college. I was the third owner of 1990 Golf with 164,000 miles. I drove it on the highway while red-lining, never changed the oil, rode the clutch and NEVER had problems. I got nervous around 180,000 miles and changed the clutch. The mechanic said the clutch still had about 2,000 miles left! Fast forward to 2002: I purchased a new 2002 GTI 1.8T in August. Before the end of 2003 I was in the dealer countless times. There were three separate recalls plus countless other problems (ignition coils, dead battery, two broken control arms, driver-side window fell into the door panel). I love the car; hate the reliability.
