VW Golf III CL > Reviews

Advantages: Can take the abuse
Disadvantages: don't know really...glove box a bit loose?

A VW 1.6l CL being my first car I am very pleased with it! Bought it 6 months ago privately for £1000, it was an N reg with 70 000 miles on the clock, black and sleek and a cute cherry air freshener ( sorry I'm a girl...). So far I have had only one problem with it, the battery kept going flat, but after changing the battery it has been right as rain. The handbrake isn't particularly good either but that could be because when I first bought it, I ... Read review

Advantages: good looks, good fuel consumption
Disadvantages: mine only has a 4 speed gearbox :(

STYLING: The volkswagon golf mk3 is a very well built machine, whats not to like about its styling? Its a huge improvement on the golf mk2. Its a nice shape and its not too boxy looking. ENGINE: Although it isnt the most powerful golf around, the 1.4 cl more than holds it own, its good around town and city, and its great on the motorways. Its very responsive and pokey and still manages to get to decent speeds in a decent time despite the fact ... Read review

Advantages: Space, looks and modabilty
Disadvantages: front lights dont look so cool

The Volkswagan golf, what can i say?? Its a Brillant car. First thing i would say is that you get a lot from it even though its an old car. It had central locking and power steering and I only bought it for £400 for the 1993 model. Its very big inside, very good as a family car as it fits a pram in the boot with no hassle, plus you still have room for your shopping. Im into modding cars so i modded my golf with tinted windows, 17" alloy wheels, big ... Read review

Advantages: very solid, practical
Disadvantages: quite slow compared to rivals

The VW golf is one of the most regconised cars in the world! ive owned 2 myself and yes there are good. My 1st was a 1.4cl in met black. Nice looking motor at at 18 i loved it. Downsides to this car is they are under featured, no powersteering or electric windows left you leaving a journey tired!, town driving was a hassle as steering was heavy. Also the brakes arnt the best, no ABS and weak, but that wasnt such a problem due to them being underpowered ... Read review

Advantages: Very roomy, Power Steering, Dependable.
Disadvantages: Wing Arial,

I recently purchased this l reg for £540 on Ebay. My previous car was a Y reg corsa so a bit of a venture backwards.I was plesantly suprised in how roomy this car is, I made a motorway journey back home when i bought it of over 300 miles and it cruised along very smoothly and a good solid drive. The bodywork is in very good condition for a car of this age and the heaters are superb in this wet and cold weather. Economy wise its about average for ... Read review
