from Archer VW, Houston T Year / Model Reviewed:
2005 Golf GLS TDI Summary:
So far I have been impressed with this car. The build quality seems to be high, and the interior finish is very nice. Also, the diesel engine is remarkably quiet and more powerful than I expected. This car also does well in Houston traffic, which can be quite bad. I would have liked a manual transmission, but the dealership could not find one for me...I have never liked automatics. The remote entry(a standard feature)key is very nice, as are the(standard)power windows, locks, and sunroof. Additionally, the sunroof is operated by a dial, which is a lot more convenient than having to hold down a switch until the roof is open. You just turn the dial to open and forget about it. Finally, the ride and handling of the VW is very good: sharp around corners, fairly smooth on rough roads, and most importantly, quiet. Strengths:
Build quality, better-than-expected performance(no tweaks yet). Weaknesses:
Fuel economy is not as good as I'd hoped, but it does seem to improve as I put more miles on the engine. I suppose this can be attributed to engine break-in. No other major problems at this time Similar Products Used:
No small cars, but two different Volvos(740T and 240 DL), a Ford Taurus, and a Ford F-150.
