2000 Volkswagen Golf Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

This car is a blast to drive! It is diesel and gets amazing mileage! It only took one tank, which was $35 to go 525 miles. That was amazing! I can go two weeks on one tank in town and is about 325 miles. I have only had this used car for a few months but I want to keep it forever.

I love the sunroof and the way it looks. I love the hatchback that had plenty of room for hauling things. I don't like how hard it is to find a VW mechanic and the dealer is very expensive. Overall tho it's a good car very reliable. I would love to get a newer model.

We just bought the car and I love every bit of it no problem its small good on gas and great for a family of 5 I have 3 kids and we fit perfect. Only take $30 to fill the car up and you can drive on the car for a little over a week and these cars last forever of you take care of them.

Peppy. It's tight, handles well and is small enough and yet spacious to haul stuff. I love the VW

It is super reliable if the normal upkeep is done on a consistent basis. I have modified mine (lowered, stage one clutch, euro spec angel eye headlights, front strut brace, RAM air intake, etc. ) And so she requires a little more maintenance than normal, but she's been reliable for four years. She really hates the winter, though. I have gone through four locking cylinders in the four years I have owned the VW. Parts are a little more expensive because it is euro, but there are a few good websites that make them more affordable. Doing the work myself or having friends do it really helps on the cost of maintenance also, so I do not know how affordable a VW can be through a dealership. I drive hundreds of miles to Montana to see my parents and the VW never has any issues making the trip. No overheating or anything and the cloth seats are nice and comfy. At about 170k miles, the biggest issue I have had is replacing a bearing in the rear and a hub and bearing in the front as well as the front axles, but they were all essentially weekend/day projects. I have a very small coolant leak, but it is not much of an issue - just a matter of checking fluids often which should be being done anyway.

My car runs smoothly. The brake is very sensitive and requires little pressure to make the car stop. The car is small enough to fit in most parking spaces. The car has a sunroof and large windows. The car features a customizable audio system that allows you to change the bass, treble, and audio balance to your liking. The gas tank can hold between 13 and 14 gallons of gas and can run anywhere from 40 to 50 miles before needing a refill.

The car itself has little to no problems. Sometimes the gas can get depleted quickly but rarely does it hinder grocery shopping or other day to day activities. Occasionally it does leak oil and sometimes antifreeze does not stay in but overall it is good car.

I've just bought the car. So far I've had problems with the coolant leaking and something going on with the radiator. Overall though I am satisfied with the vehicle is great on gas good on mileage easy on the clutch and smooth transition. I could complain but this is the cards of life has dealt me so that being said, I am satisfied with my vehicle it could be better but hey it could be worse too.
