A surprisingly quick car for its engine size.

Lovely car to drive. My 6th Golf since 1983 but been driving Mercs for the past 20 years. Very impressed with its sportiness, ease of driving and low fuel consumption. 6 litres per 100 km around town but have seen less than 5 at times. Definitely the only car you need as Clarkson supposedly said. One big disappointment was a bolt shearing on the cam belt sprocket when mileage was 8000 km. Car was off the road awaiting parts ex Germany, for 3 weeks but VW hired a Polo for me. I was told by the reparing agent that the bolt suffered 'metal fatigue' and he showed me a technical bulletin acknowledging this as a known problem. I have requested VW of S+_(: Africa to get a reason for this failure from VW Germany. I'm still awaiting a reply.
