You can't go wrong!

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 1999
The Bottom Line: As a commuter car, it's hard to beat. It also has fun factor, room for adults or three kids in the back. Sporty style.
Review: I've been more than impressed with this econo-fun car. I purchased a 1997 Golf Trek edition primarily for commuting. I've put over 45,000 miles on it without a single quality issue. Maintenance has thus far consisted of oil changes. My gas mileage...

'97 VW Golf K2- love it

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car- it's a great commuter, and makes a great tuner as well (tons of aftermarket goodies available). Fun to drive, great in the turns.
Review: I bought my '97 Golf early this year (2004)- it had 87,000 miles on it at the time. I was looking for a small car that was good on gas- it was down to the Golf or a Civic. I ended up going with the Golf because it has a TON more personality than the...

Sporty and responsible...me?

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000
Review: With graduation quickly approaching, my parents were trying to lure me across the finish line with the talk of a new car. My heart was set on a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse with a sunroof and spoiler, something way too sporty and expensive for reality...

Drivers, Good or Bad, Wanted

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: I would not hesitate to buy another Volkswagen Golf. I am confident in German engineering.
Review: I am so in love with my 1997 Golf K2, that I named her Sadie. It is just such an attractive car! The sleek, yet boldly boxy profile is what made it for me, when I bought it brand new in 1997, and the performance has for the most part backed up its...

Can't Go Wrong With This One

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2000
Review: The 1997 VW Golf has proved to be a excellent vehicle of choice for people looking for a car not only to get them from point a to point b, but a car that does it with personality. The Golf was available with some added options that year, such as the...

Wanted a Jetta, bought a Golf

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2000
Review: My boyfriend recently leased a 2000 Jetta GLX. While I absolutely love his car, I knew I couldn't afford anything quite that expensive when it came time for me to buy. I've always had Volkswagens, though, and love them for their sportiness, sleek...

VW Golf 1997 1.6 GL 5dr

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2006
Review: Small rust spots - alloys still smart - my newer Zafira has alloys that are deteriorating already! I 've had the car about 2.5 years and has had no problems - apart from some HT leads that needed replacing. I got 2 electrical problems that need...

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2005
Review: Very practical, utilitarian, fun, good looking and good gas mileage car. I get about 33 mpg city/35 hwy -- it can go from New York City to Montreal on one tankfull! I can fit almost anything in there - yesterday I put a full size wooden whisky...

Even VW Doesn't Make 'Em Like This Anymore

Date of Review:  May 11, 2007
Review: I got a new VW Golf K2 in Jan. 98 and have driven it nearly every day since. It still delights me to get in this car and drive, whether squirting through city traffic or cruising on a freeway road trip. It's peppy, with sporty handling and a true...

1997 Golf GL

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 1999
Review: We have a 1997 Golf GL, and have been very happy with it. It's just a smartly designed little car.

- 4 door hatchback. Try and find many of those. We fit about as much stuff in this that people with SUVs and minivans do. The seats fold down...
