some of my friends said it is a little bit too narrow inside. I am a girl so I am fine the size, but I am wondering if it is a good vehicle to hang out with friends.
Thanks a lot!!!
It seems to want to to it most with (1) lazy shifts, when I'm not paying much attention, and (2) at high revs under hard acceleration.
When I mentioned it to a friend that's a VW salesman, he said that this was the first he'd heard of it. We went out in my car, and he also grinded second gear.
I'm somewhat disappointed with the quality of the cloth (makes a lot of lint!!!) and the paint (easy to scratch or to go off).
What worried me was the noise of the breaks. The VW service says this is because of the pads. They are American (thicker) and the Golf is made under German standards(??)
The noise is worse in the first part of a trip and disappears after a while. The same mechanic at the VW dealership told me this is due to rust on the (again!) "non-standard American" break pads.
Does any of you have similar problem? Do you have any recommendations?
Thank you,

I believe that it's somewhere in one of the sites on the new Passat. A friend of mine has a new Passat with brake noise, too. Then I chanced on that discussion.
It's an Audi problem, too. I believe that the response was a (very) high temperature, brake compatible silicone that Audi mechanics use.
Also do you think there are any quality differences between the Jetta and the Golf(if manufactured in Germany)?
For more information I'd recommend a search on vwvortex.com or Fred's TDI page at tdiclub.com.

carlady, thanks for keeping the right order here.
1)Is the Golf GLS is a good investment?
2) How reliable is it? I plan to keep it for a while
3) Any great deals? Great warranties?
Thanks,
