General Comments

Bought my '03 VW Golf SDI 6 months ago and expect to keep it a while as it is so cheap to run.I regularly get 55-60 mpg on mostly short runs and at 70 mph on the motorway it really does sip fuel.What it lacks in BHP it makes up for with torque and I find myself using the gearbox a lot less than any petrol engined car I have owned,which makes for a more relaxed drive(maximum power is at 2200 revs) The cabin is surprisingly spacious and overall the car has the feel of a larger one. I even tow a small 2-berth caravan, which at 850 kgs is the maximum recommended by VW and certainly don't hold up any traffic, I just have to use a bit more "right foot" and change down sooner for hills. Overall a pleasure to own and I would recommend to anyone seeking a no frills quality car with outstanding economy.
