1999 Volkswagen Golf

Pros: Competitive price, fast, very reliable

Cons: Difficult to find at the dealership

Review: The 1999-2000 Golf is a cool little car. For about $16 thousand (GL w/ taxes), you get a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with 115 hp (same engine as the Jetta), lots of interior and exterior features, and the car itself is a self-described chick magnet.

Pros: fun to drive, easy to park, good gas mileage

Cons: a little more expensive than other options (but you get what you pay for)

Review: With the gas prices on there rise here in the SF bay area, I decided it was time to get rid of my 19 mile per gallon sports car. It was time to move onto something a *little* more practical. The first thing I decided to do was write down what my...

Pros: Stylish, fun to drive, versatile design, reliable!

Cons: No GLS trim in 2 door models

The Bottom Line: Love the VW's, I'd buy another, especially a Passat TDI in a heartbeat!

Review: My wife and I bought a 2001 Golf brand new in the fall of '01. It's a 2.0 GLS model. Heated seats, sunroof etc. Very nice car. What we had really wanted was a TDI however, but none were on the lot.

This '99 came up on the used car lot at...

Pros: very functional

Cons: quite pricey

Review: I bought this vehicle for working purposes, I had a new job and I needed a car to get from A to B without any troubles. I thought VW Golf would do the job. So far I've had no complaints at all.
I love the looks, it looks really cool and it gives a...

Pros: spiffy, smooth ride, shifts easy

Cons: awkward control panel

Review: I have owned 4 VWs. The first was a 1973 beetle. It was a flower pot that had been sitting in the driveway for 3 years. Someone had given it to my father to pay off a debt. Of course it was a piece of junk. It had weeds growing up through the...

Pros: Utility, comfort

Cons: Engine can be weak, noisy

Review: For years (about twenty-four to be precise), the automotive world has recognized the hatchback as the most practical car design. The 2000 Volkswagen Golf is simply the top of the hatchback food chain. I've owned a Golf for eight months now, and every...

Pros: Great car, great price!

Cons: None

Review: Volkswagon is proving to be one of the premier auto companies of the new millenium. The New Gulf, a new car my father purchased a couple weeks ago, is everything he could hope for. Not only does it feature a sleek design, boast a great price, and have...

Pros: handling, styling, completeness

Cons: none

Review: I've been a Volkswagen driver for years, and my current car (which was leased through my boss' company) is no reason to change brands. We're talking here about a Golf IV 1.9 TDI (110 hp), in metallic black.

Driving this baby is a breeze:...

Pros: Fun to drive, excellent quality, versatile hatchback design

Cons: Rear seat tight if driver is tall, quirky seat recliners

Review: After an exhaustive one year process, I determined that out of all of the $20-something thousand four door cars, the redesigned (A4) Golf GLS was the car for me. My requirements: Four doors, good cargo capacity, high style, power "everything"...

Pros: all the comfort of a luxury car, sporty, great on gas!

Cons: a bit pricey

Review: After test-driving every VW the dealer had on the lot, I have to say that the Golf is my absolute favorite! With the new power behind the Golf, and the comfort inside this car is perfect for any length of trip.

This is not the old school VW...
