Volkswagen Golf 4Motion is a Great car to drive, but they look a bit boring standard , So I spent a couple of grand upgrading mine fitting- R32 alloy wheels, anniversary 180 body kit, iduction kit,decent exhaust and had it chipped it looked and sounded stunning, but i had nothing but trouble with it! It had squeaky suspension which vw and another gargae couldn`t find a fault with? I`ve heard that many people have had this trouble with the mk4 golf! The cooling fans packed up and the car over heated £800 then not long after i could only started by jump start that was the final straw! So I went for a mk3 golf gti, not nearly as nice to drive but more realiable less to go wrong and alot cheaper to run!
But i would still go for a 4mo in the future when the prices drop to around 1.5-2k ,but it would have to have good history and leather and R32 alloys set the car off.
