Volkswagen Golf 2003 - 2009 Review

The car has a 1600 cc direct fuel injection engine with FSI technology to save fuel consumption, with a power of 102 hp, with a 6-speed tiptronic transmission. It also achieves a fuel consumption rate of 8.2 liters per 100 km. The car's engine is good and there are almost no complaints about it. It is a flexible engine that achieves continuous torque and responds smoothly to the driver. The engine sound is not loud, and therefore does not cause any disturbance. It also achieves a sporty performance through the engine. 

The car's large body provides comfort for passengers inside, measuring 4.204 meters long, 1.759 meters wide, and 1.479 meters high. The car also features a spacious interior that provides passenger comfort, with a well-designed, sporty, and elegant design and high-quality finishing with a luxurious touch.

Car spare parts are expensive, and therefore cost a lot to maintain compared to Korean cars. However, their spare parts are more reliable and last longer. They are available in the market as original spare parts, and there are other spare parts that are slightly cheaper and can be used. There are also many technicians who know how to handle them outside the dealership.

The car achieves strong stability on the road and Golf cars are famous for being German cars with great stability. The car's suspension is comfortable, strong, soft and absorbs shocks well, making the car very stable on curves. However, the high price of suspension spare parts makes it difficult for it to be exposed to any problem because it will make its owner spend a lot on it.

The Volkswagen Golf is a great deal for young people and there is a lot of interest in the car even though it is a hatchback and there is a greater tendency among people towards sedans, but when compared to other Korean sedans, the advantage is in its favor in quality, but the only problem is that interest in sedans is higher in the market because they are more suitable for family aspects, unlike hatchbacks such as the Golf 5, which are closer to young people, and therefore its resale may not be as strong as the sedans prevalent in the market, but it has a good resale price and does not experience a significant decrease.

The car has an electronic stability program (ESP) and 2-6 front airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags and side curtain airbags depending on the version. It also comes with three-point seat belts. It achieved 5 stars in safety tests and is the first Golf car to achieve 5 stars. The car body is also strong and durable.

The equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, central locking, and electric windows. Therefore, the drawback is the lack of equipment and luxuries available in the car. The equipment varies according to the versions: Baseline, Trendline, and High Line. The higher versions come with a sunroof, cruise control, a multi-function steering wheel, xenon lights, and higher rims.
