General Comments

I brought my Volkswagen Golf 2.3 V5 in september 2004. I paid around 13k for it and its worth every penny. It's only a 2.3 petrol but its got 170BHP which is more than enough on british roads. It can get to 60 in about 7 secounds and I have done about 140 on the moterway.

I can get a full tank for about £45 and get 30mpg urban and about 250 motorway miles. You have got to get leathers in your golf as the seats warm up (great in winter). But the leather is appearing to have a few creases.

It's got a decent sound system with 6 cd changer and 8 speaker set up.

The car takes quite long to warm up and the windows keep getting steamed up (this occurs throughout the whole mk4 range).
