Question 2002 VW GOL: cute, small...

This is the current VW Gol, a small hatchback made in Brasil for South America and some other countries. It has a price of about US$10000 in there, and it comes with a 1.8 100HP engine. The only problem is that they are some what unsafe, since the car dates from the 90ī

It looks like a Polo and Golf got into some inbreeding.....

I guess thats why its called a Gol.

Yeah, the name Gol was inspired in Golf, but this last one is bigger and much better.

Question

Besides engine power and engine size, what are the main differences between the safety of American Golfs and these Euro/African Gols. I can tell there appears to be a flimsy body style to that Gol basic, sorta like a basic honda () But are you talking unsafe like the Israeli Mini Coop, or are you talking unsafe like Saturn?

Volkswagen has a lot of old cars in production all around the world.
In South Africa the still produce the T3 Bus, the A1 Golf and a Polo Sedan.
They still produce the “Old Beetle” in Mexico, as well as the Derby and Pointer.
In South America [Argentina, Brazil] they make the Gol, the Saveiro and the Polo Sedan.

It's not a bad designed car, but it's cheap made. I saw one (imported from Brezil for trying) and it's not as well made as a Lupo or a Polo.

Many car makers are still making old cars for emergeant countries (South America, Africa, Asia) : Renault, Peugeot, VW, Ford, Audi, Toyota, etc.

In western africa almost 40% of cars are the old beetle.

The Gol is just the VW Fox under a different name.
The Fox was actually given a different name for each area of the world it was sent to.
The names its been known under include, Fox, Gol, Voyage, Parati, Saveiro, Gacel, Senda, and Amazon. They were all BX platform cars and all used the same 83hp 1.8L engine and were all built in Brazil. Even the Wolfsburg editions.
I own an '88 Fox and its a great car except for the little electronic bits breaking down. :sun:

Ahhh.......the Gol- A Golf with quality so awful that the 'F' fell off :finger:



The things are little ships of horrors- but serve the developing countries like Argentina, Brazi, Uruguay, Bolivia et all rather well



But just looking in VW's internatonal catalogue is quite an eye opener
