Volkswagen Golf 1.4 is a nice car, good economy, nice cabin, good performance but I am very frustrated with it after 2 years

- Engine sounds like a diesel. Any time I take friends somewhere in it, they always so they are surprised I bought a diesel

- The turbo lag is terrible, it feels like there is no supercharger (or mines isnt working). No acceleration in any gear, bit more throttle, bit more than bang, full boost. You either drive everywhere like a normal 1.4 or you go everywhere full speed.

- Really heavy clutch pedal for a 1.4 It has 170PS but it feels as heavy as my old R32.

- The engine doesn't like to rev.

- The gearing is very long. To get a nice smooth pull away, you end up driving around in 2nd gear for 30mph.

I completely agree with J.C's review. I need to save cash so I am holding on to it till next spring.

My friend has a Seat Leon, 1.4tsi 125ps. Its night a day. Nice clutch, better steering, VERY smooth and quiet engine, good economy and nice perrformance. The interior isnt as nice but its not bad..I wish I had bought one of those
