What Owners are Saying About the 1992 Volkswagen Golf

"great gas mileage"

"This car continues to provide me with excellent gas mileage and strong performance. Some minor parts needed to be replaced due to age, it is 19 years old and so far has 203k miles on it. But it keep running strong and gives me approx. 30-35mpg in city and 40+mpg on the highway. Very zippy and reliable."

"Nice Ride."

"I've done alot of driving, and I've owned a number of cars. This one's a keeper. Small on the outside, perfect for parking lots and crowded highways. However, it's HUGE on the inside! I'm 6'5" tall with lots of leg... I can set the front seats to where I'm comfortable and still sit in the back seat with lots of leg AND head room. The performance is snappy. Not the fastest car around, but it can snap your head back when you romp on the gas. Not only that, but you'll get around 30mpg! Nice little car..."

"Great Car"

"Very nice small car, I bought mine used 11 years ago, looked like the previous owner(s) really used an abused it. I wasn't planning on holding onto it for long, but it turned out to be very reliable and just keeps on going. Original engine, original transmission, etc. What I really like about the car is that its a nice little car with a lot of power and its great on gas, can get anywhere from 30-35 mpg. Given the size of the car, the interior room is pretty good, leg room is decent, plenty of head room, more than enough room in the trunk, especially if you flip the back seat up twice giving even more room. I really enjoy this car, and I'm glad I bought it. I'd rather put more money into it than to buy another car."
