    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 ...

    The Volkswagen Golf 1.4 is in for major work after 1 year and 26k miles, needs new turbo, intercooler, catalyst, exhaust system and potentially engine.

    Customer service entirely lacking. Unable to determine fault so ignore it. Fail to provide alternative transport despite continued requests. ...

    Loved this car to bits at first, it's rapid, handles like a dream, pulls admiring glances and relatively economical. The big downside is the reliability, mine has now covered 32000 miles and to date has needed, new gearbox, new aircon unit, new engine valve, new petrol tank and new suspension bushes ...

    Superb handling without resorting to a suspension set up that would damage your spine but this car is all about the engine. You have to continually remind yourself that your are driving a 1.4. The hum out of the engine at high revs is musical...
    Good specification, great A/C unit. Love the twin pipe ...

    I preferred driving this to the A3 equivalent, although A3 has a better finish.

    Regularly returns 35+ mpg and over 40mpg is a possibility if you don't use all of the performance. A great A and B road car as the DSG and high performance make it great fun and a true hot hatch.
    A better all round option than the GTi as its more economical, has a comfier ride but has close to GTi l ...

    Wanted to buy a new edition 30, but when I went to order one, my local VW dealder said he sold the last one available only a few days earlier and no more could be ordered. He then suggested I might take a look at the new 1.4 Gt TSI, Anyway I did and couldnt believe what I was seeing. I would argue t ...

    Jeremy Clarkson may have slagged the Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI 170 GT off on Top Gear, but how many of you can afford an Aston Martin? If you thought having a family meant not having a fun car any more, then this will make you think again. The small engine size (1.4 litre) may put off a lot of people, ...
