im sorry but this seems liek the most pointless thread ever, all its doing is making who ever started it look like a wally in the first place
to echo what has been said, its a safe car, i have had one bump in my GTi when i had it and it was as solid as a tank the escort i hit wasnt and was wrote off as they couldnt open the boot! all i had was a cracked number plate, had a bump in my saxo VTR ( washes mouth out) and the front basically caved in! ITS SAFE AS FOOK
its a relaible car, its safe, can be tuned to have lots of fun
ther earlier comment about driving a less safe car or what ever it was, just sounded a bit dense
if you dont like your golf sell it as i dont think anyones is going to be able to give you an anwser you want?
as Rhyso said doesnt take much to do a bit of research
