Back when I was in school I knew of two people who had the old VW Rabbit diessels and they were pretty much like the Golf you described. They both ended up getting in bad wrecks because at different times they were pulling out of parking lots and the people did not realize the Rabbits accelerated so slow and ended up plowing into them. At least the diessel motors have come a long way since those old beasts.
