  • Not bad for a car with Mk2 Golf under pinnings. l read somewhere that it was something like 80% stronger than a Mk2 which will account for it being a fat old Golf with only simmering performance in GTi form.

  • Yes, but will it blend?

  • I'm thinking of buying a Mk3 golf. How reliable are they?

  • Golf III and Golf IV will seriously be the best Golf generations ever. Better than the current Mk VI which is a waste of money compared to the contemporary Ford Focus III, the best compact car of this generation as we speak.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker I love Golf 6 , Ford Focus is a shit

  • @FalenGood Then you either judge the car by simply it being a Ford or you're quite a comformist person, unfortunately.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker The best Golf was the Golf II.

  • @JackBandicootsBunker Well, the Golf II wasn't the best in crash safety, I have to admit.

  • @eltfell The Golf II was just a revision of the first, or at least I felt that. Even the CitiGolf from RSA felt better than the Golf II, and it was a revamped Golf I. Of course, it was a great car. The GTi and the RALLYE versions were just outstanding. But the marketing wasn't up to what the product was, specially in the US, the safety as you said wasn't the best out there, and the price was steep. But it was maybe the best you could get: the Escort was the close you'd get to a Golf

  • @JackBandicootsBunker I once had a Golf II, my Mother the saloon versions Jetta I and Jetta II. The I and II had less in common as the II and III: Totally different body structure, totally different suspension parts (same principle, though). The III originally was just a modernized II, but it had to be reinforced before it hit the market, because auto motor und sport began to crash test cars (also II, it was as good as a Nissan Maxima) 50 % offset and at a speed of 55 km/h.

  • @eltfell Yeah, I remember those tests. Back in the day where those methods were a filter for many old cars. Also, I said the Golf III and IV were the best for me because, in the case of the third, it became a rapidly popular sensation, and it had nice interior room, setting the standard for compact cars at the time. And in the case of the fourth Golf, because it was SO upmarket and featured many parts shared with Audi, making it superb. As for the Jettas, for me the II was the best one.

  • not bad for 20-years old car

  • piece of crap

  • he's dead

    

  • You guys are so stupid you would definitely be dead because o the glass impaling your body

  • @kidtrix360 lol, they don't use dangerous glass that will kill you in a crash in cars

  • I crashed mine a few days ago into the back of a renault megane at 25mph. My car is 15 years old and the megane was 3 and put it this way the megane looked much worse for wear. Mine is perfect apart from the bonnet been mashed in. I was quite surprised how safe old golfs actually are .. and i only got whiplash.

  • @TheMightyWoosh Nothing to do with safety. It only means that the megane has more deformable zone, so you would die with higher speed and the megane driver would live.

  • i wrecked my golf mk3 two days ago. i hit the protection fence with 60-70km/h. not directly but in some engle then it turned me around and i hit the fence again with the rear end. i had no injuries, car is not so badly damaged... 2 weels dent, front and rear bumper smashed, front lights and one rear destroyed, front fenders dent and bonnet slightly out of shape...

  • safe

  • @f3n3k the vr6 has a top speed of 225 km/h

  • fucking hell thats solid but swont it break your neck cuz its so solid lol

  • this is VillageWagon

  • It's much better than MK2 serie.

  • i dont like VW....

  • VW Golf III Crash Test

  • fuck vw golf

  • @ILoveSummerParadise fuck you..

    et au passage,je baise ta mère par les 6 trous

  • @starforce224 sorry, but i dont understand what you talking about

    ps. you must have shitty golf

  • @ILoveSummerParadise

    What cars do you like? Those pieces of crap supercars? FUCK THEM!!! These classic cars can be more powerful than those Ferrari or Shitborgini...

  • @mindexas123456 you saying that shitty golf have more power then lamborghini? heheh you're funny, dude

  • @ILoveSummerParadise Yes, stock cars are not so powerful like that shitborgini, but if you tune them....

  • @mindexas123456 people, who tuning cars like shitty golf, are villagers, everybody laugh of them - sorry, thats true. If you like speed and wanna car with nice look, so you buy porsche and that kind of cars, not old, full of rust vw golf... people, who buy golf just don't have money for better car, so don't be stupid...

  • @ILoveSummerParadise Are you on drugs?

  • @dazpanzan no, why?

  • @ILoveSummerParadise my 515 whp vrt golf would rape almost all porsches.. and btw... a porsche is about 50000 more exppensive than a golf, we all know your ballin enough to afford a supercar but most other people cant, so shut the **** up

  • @ILoveSummerParadise my 515 whp vrt golf would rape any porsche you bring to the table bud

  • @jsobo811 Sorry, but I don't belive you. Golf can be fast, but not so fast, like Porsche dude ;)

  • @jsobo811 Sorry, but I don't belive you. Golf can be fast, but not so fast, like Porsche dude ;) Maybe you like this car's - thats okay, but I don't like it very much, cause (if you wanna know) in my country people, who drive vw golf are such asshole and they cars are so dirty and ugly, because of them... You must visit Poland - then you will realize :)

  • @jsobo811 Sorry, but I don't belive you. Golf can be fast, but not so fast, like Porsche dude ;) Maybe you like this car's - thats okay, but I don't like it very much, cause (if you wanna know) in my country people, who drive vw golf are such asshole and they cars are so dirty and ugly, because of them... You must visit Poland - then you will realize :)

  • @ILoveSummerParadise In poland are great VWs

  • @ILoveSummerParadise Well, when you haven't got money for brand new car (like me) it's better to put money in the car you have than to buy another secondhand.

    I'm not talking about village tunning. But tunning is also engine, breaks etc.

    Yes, I'm driving 93' 1,9 SDI Golf III xD You can say that's engine good for tractors but after 17 years it still uses 5l/100km which is way more important for me than acceleration. Hard to find another so cheap car with that good results.

  • @KaryRaven jak napisales"village tuning",to od razu skumalem,ze jestes polakiem ;p wiec napisze po polsku ;): nie mam nic do golfow, poki ich kierowcy, to nie sa tacy debile, ktorzy wbijaja wiesniackie lotki, spojlery, kolpaki imitujace felgi - to mnie rozpierdala, ale to rzadkosc. Po prostu robia z golfa sportowa i szpanerska fure najnizszym kosztem i wychodzi to debilnie. Jak Twoj jest zadbany i nie "zwiesniaczony", to dobrze - nic do takich golfow nie mam, a jedynie wiesniactwo trzeba tepic:)

  • warum nimmt man dazu nen golf3 und keinen billig-golf5 oder so .. ;(

    einfach zum kotzen ..

  • better than a Vanagon

  • whats a honda,, that thing in my rear view?

  • @dodgedart74 i think so that's what he was thinking of thumbs up

  • whats a honda?

  • Look at the 4th guy from the left jump when it hits, hehe, I think he pooped! I have one of these golfs, I think it did ok for an older car, but any idea what speed it was doing?

  • @maryswilde i think 40mph (64kmph), probally but im not sure

  • love when the back window breaks!!!

  • MUITO SEGURO PARA UM AUTOMÓVEL DO INIÇIO DA DÉCADA DE 90

  • I wrecked my Golf MkIII in a head on crash.. But with 70km/h and my opponent had exactly the same car .. Then he took my right of way and drove on my side of the track... My injuries: -Two broken legs -One broken Ankle joint -Compartement syndrome -One broken arm -One broken wrist -Broken Breastbone -Concussion [Time in Hospital: 2 months] My Opponents injuries: -Broken Collarbone [Time in Hospital: 1 night] Life ain't fair xD
  • @Olingelo

    bitch.....feeling for ya man

  • @xPiiNGUx well my opponets payment for compensation for immaterial damage was okay ;) but i would not do it again or recomment it to someone ^^

  • @Olingelo hope youre fine

  • @Olingelo

    So I'm guessing you're not recommending the Gold Mkill.

  • @Olingelo look at it from the bright side , your not dead.

  • @Olingelo He must of been travelling faster or had a load in the car.

  • @Olingelo Maybe yours car's body was in worse condition than in your opponents car, I mean rust and other damages

  • @Olingelo Drink more milk :D

  • @Olingelo OUCH!! and what is compartement syndrome

  • Golf 3 for life...

  • @VeliCetaVrh For life?..... dude the glass windows shatter like hell so yea if you want to drive in a car were glass comes flying at yer head use this car

  • @KaratenKit i will...for life

  • Dobrze tłumi Golfina :)

  • wv golf3 for eva! luv it!!!!

  • @julianzeasar05 You realy got to raise your standards a bit higher if your saying golf 3 for ever....

  • @Brainiac83 yeaah, but still... :3

  • golf is way better than the civic with v-tec it has a 1.8 engine and my golf has a 2.0 and i have a mk3

  • golfs are way better than ya honda they are cheap

  • @Beatkid91

    MORON

    look at the video... astra destroyed golf....

  • @Beatkid91 watch?v=t1Gq5lTzqoE

    now who's the best german car?? that blue car is your shitty golf III

  • That did unexpectedly well!!! Good thing I'm getting a Volkswagen :-)

  • not too bad

  • How many stars and what speed?

  • i had a 96 gti and i got hit by an xterra going 45 mph head on and the only injuries i had was the mark from the seatbelt. VERY lucky i walked away. These cars a tanks...the beetle is even better!

  • 3 stars at 55 km/h? EuroNCAP is at 70 km/h or more

  • @KubikCv EuroNCAP = 64 Km/h

  • It's 55 km/h.

  • People always will die in cars and under cars.

  • i think they do this tests at 65 km/h, but this looks a little faster. I think the car was going 80-90 km/h right before the crash, i think. Anyway it's faster then 65 km/h

  • 3 stars it's not that bad for the year it was made, but obviously if look for security you wouldn't buy one!

    Although i have one 97 golf mk3 tdi and i love it! :D

  • how many stars did they got?

  • @VentoDriver It has a 3 star rating

  • You talk about the eg civic is unsafe but this issent save either!

  • golf is ja immerhin kein auto^^

  • but polonez doesn't have airbags.

  • this car saved my life, did a 360 and smashed into a bride (with no seatbelt i should add) and walked away without a scratch.

  • into a bride?

  • Lol, Bridge... or was it ;)

  • into a BRIDE?!

  • I have an Golf 3 Variant from 94 I think. Is the Variant/Kombi version better than this one? Is it safe enough?

  • @6unnar dont know but try not to crash it anyways

  • 3 door cars are stronger ,and stiffer :)

  • @Thomasss1 NOT!

  • lol ur jokin, right?

  • Nice Job!!!!

  • Zgniata się jak puszka.. ;| ;d

  • ich liebe meinen Golf 3 =)

  • my 94' golf has 2 airbags and abs.

    In my opinion this video shows that the golf mk3 has aproximately a 3 star rating euro ncap crash test.

  • does the abs still work?

  • yes . it still works. This car still amazes me. I bought it from Germany this year . Absolutely everything works on it. (even the rear window washer and wiper) The only things that I replaced was a bulb from the dash and one from the ashtray).

  • Comment removed

  • AHAAHAHA, dont complain, I've got a 1999 Golf Mk3, and it didnt come with either ABS or Airbags, it has a 1.8Mi engine (multiport injection), and it does not have powerlocks, either electric windows, or a sunroof, I like to say its kind of an old school golf XD

    PD... The vin says it was build Dec 1998 so its not refurbrished, bought it new from a vw dealer back in 1999

  • i've got 97' it got one airbag no abs no electric windows or mirrors actually that airbag its the only comfort i got lol

  • Is it a wagon? Just wondering since my gf has a '98 Golf and it's Mk4...

  • No, its a Golf (4 door hatchback) car, and its not from the 4th generation, but the third

  • 1.8Mi? really how much torque can you get on this engine?

  • about 128 lb·ft and with a straight pipe and no cat about 145hp ... which for a car that weights only a bit more than a ton gives a very good power to weight ratio

  • My golf too from 94 he doesnt saw airbag and abs not even on photo...

  • you guys are dumb, dont u realize that a golf in one country isnt going to be identical to the golf manufactured for your country... It all has to do with economics and government regulation.

    The USA is a relatively wealthy country with a lot of government regulation, hence mandatory airbags.

  • how much KM/H are the crash tests??

  • @SBTPablo 64 k.p.h or 40 m.p.h

  • @SBTPablo That one was at 29mph

  • its fuked up lol

  • Prawda. A na dodatek konstrukcja poloneza jest z czasów Mk1 więc w porównaniu z starszymi golfami np Mk2 filmik na YT jest Fso Polonez to limuzyna

  • bla bla bla.Nie jest sztuka skonstruowac samochod ze sztywna karoseria gdzie przy strzale z autem sie nic nie dzieje a cala sila uderzenia przenosi sie na kierowce i pasazerow i wychodza z takiego gonga z poprzestawianym kregoslupem i bez oczu ktore wypadlu mu podczas wypadku.Sztuka jest zrobic auto ktore podczas wypadku przyjmuje cale uderzenia na siebie anie na kierowce.karoseria musi sie skladac do pewnego stopnia zeby amortyzowac uderzenia.

  • held up well IMO

  • I ran trough the wall with Golf 3 TDi doing 90km/h.

    Enigne survived, and I didnt get hurt. I had no ABS nor AirBags, just a seatbelt.

  • sorry but thats not true.

    An Golf 3 has ABS and Airbag in the groundvariation.

    So you lie or you had an Airbag and ABS...

  • hahahahha

    You really dont know what you talk about...

    Dude when ever you wanna come to Serbia to check it out I will be more than happy to show you that my golf 3 does not have ABS or Airbag. You are probably just a kid who doesn't know a lot about cars.

  • my golf gti mk3 abs never worked, the light was always on, and as for airbag, well some did some didnt

  • At some time during the life of the mark3, it became manditory for them to have airbags but not the older ones. Some mark2s have rear seat belts, some don't for the same reason

  • @ZliMare

    vw diesel engines always survive

    My oil pump was on its way out and I (stupidly) drove another 60 miles with the oil light on. Engine was fine even when i put the new pump in.

    best engines ever

  • Wow, very good!

  • Geat aint it, i was in a crash at 60 in one of these on sunday, got out without a scratch, bit of whiplash, the car was fucked though.

  • damn why are honda civics populer if they are so unsafe?

  • not so popular like vdubs:)

  • because of the boy racer engine and cheap price tag, aand they run for ever.

  • They are cheap, thats why!

  • and hondas are expensive?

  • 20kmh :D

  • Ur mama is cheap..xDDD

    Thats an old car thats y its cheap...

    Beside VW RuLLZZZZZZZ!!!!

  • most people who have them think they wont crash them, saying that i had a 1997 honda accord, blowout caused me to spin into a barrier at 70mph, i walked out without a scratch :D

  • really thats great! u helped the morld get another honda off the road!

  • @BoglenTerrier because in the 90s less people looked at crash tests

  • @BoglenTerrier they are very popular in racing, like need for speed underground, u can drive and "trick it out", and in the fast n the furious, dom and his gang uses honda civics to rob the trucks, yeah, honda is a cool car but, I prefer the Honda CRX

  • @BoglenTerrier its because they have the v-tec enginge with the cams that move allowin it to rev to 8484 rpm almos 8500 rpm and they are really good at handling my brother bought one their light and u can throw them around and they stick to the road really well without much modification but thers somthing about vdubs tht is jus awesome

  • not bad for 1992

  • @Draven84 This is like 1994, the Golf has dual airbag.

  • safer than that honda in the last vid i seen :s

  • a golf mark 3 GTI is just a badcar boy!!!! xD

  • Comment removed

  • LOL

  • on how much KM/H are the crash tests made ???

  • 64 km/h 40 mp/h

  • This was 55 km/h.

  • Um... Imagination and buying a Japanese Civic of the same age? *fails to see link*

  • polen?

  • Comment removed

  • wtf?

  • Comment removed

  • car look not bad, but where is legs

  • compared to other cars of its age like the honda civic, ford fiesta ect it done very well, remember the mk3 went on production in 1991

  • that´s right. I crash my self with golf 3 gti crashed with to another cars and there was even not cam out those airbag and motor was still runing hehe. amazing yes(:

  • HA HA HA

    except not.

  • HA HA HA

    you drive a crap american car

    you'll die

  • That looks somewhere between acceptible and unacceptible...

  • theannoyingdogpoo

    These old 50 kmh crash tests were much easier to pass than modern EuroNCAP ones.

    wrong whatever your babbling

    you need to spend more time loking at the modern car crashes it takes a very very high speed accidents for the people to die in car crashed theses days unlike back then and if ou disagree, stick to the old cars!!!

  • well... my golf 3 got smashed by a matiz (creepy car) and i can easily repair it.... nice car after all...

  • 60km close to about 40mph then thats gay cus itss not a strong car at all look at this man the freakin window blow like a mofo

  • HAROGTI:

    "60km close to about 40mph then thats gay cus itss not a strong car at all look at this man the freakin window blow like a mofo"

    True, whatever your babbling means.

    These old 50 kmh crash tests were much easier to pass than modern EuroNCAP ones.

  • if this video is at normal speed then this definitely isn't a 60km/h crash. Calculate the time it takes the car to cover its own distance and you will see.

    so this 92 golf doesn't perform any better than the 92 civic(death trap as the author refers to it)

  • and it is a front impact test not an offset one, as far as i can see.

  • its offset

  • no my friend, there is no comparison between these cars. golf is much safer, dont you see??

  • You may think this is good but this is a front impact test - not an offset impact which is used to test cars today. All cars since 1974 have had to pass a test by crashing into a wall at 30mph.

  • It is a 50% offset test.

  • um, no, that was an offset

  • cool if you look the shock wave from the impact is traveling though the roof! the roof absorbed the impact pretty neat
