Used 2001 Volkswagen Golf for Sale

Although my VW Golf is an older model, it still gets along just like it was new. It is easy to drive, easy to maintain and easy to love. I have just over 176,000 miles on it and still drive it as a commuting vehicle every day. Even though it has a high mileage, I still get over 20 miles per gallon. I have had very few problems with the exception of the air conditioner, and once the faulty parts were replaced the A/C was as cold as any in newer VW cars. The other thing I like is the handling and suspension. I have no problem going over 35 MPH around a 90 degree turn. The interior is cloth, which is good in hotter states, and is still in good condition. It still gets challenged at stop lights by newer muscle cars, although never any other VWs. The VW Golf has an excellent layout for a two door car. It also has a large enough trunk space I can pack a couple of suitcases or all of my groceries in it without difficulty.

The 2001 Volkswagen Golf is a sleek, good-looking hatchback that overall is very average in performance. While the car itself looks great, it under performs in many ways. I bought the car used with less than 30,000 miles on it. Everything was great in the first two months or so. The air conditioning was cool, the brakes worked well, it handled great, and overall was a decent car. Then the problems started. First, the brakes needed to be replaced. 45,000 miles into this car and I needed a full new brake replacement. Then the air conditioning stopped working, and living in Texas, this was not an option. After that, it was small things like windshield wipers, etc. After I got the major problems fixed, it was a decent car. It got me from point A to point B. However, I felt like I spent way too much time at auto shops, dealerships, or even the parts store. It felt like I was there once a week at some points. It drove and handled well and was a decent car, just a few too many problems.
