Good Points

Style
performance
handling
the stereo increases volume when you excellerate
very quite


Bad Points

Known for a faulty gearbox
Not the best for fuel economy in a world of increasing green pressure
It may cosy you speeding points or your licence as it speeds up unknowingly


General Comments

My VW Golf 1.8T (GTi Turbo - 150bhp) and me have had some serious fun over the past four years.
It is a great car, with loads of power, handles well, and once I replaced the Pirelli 6000 tyres with Michelin premacy's it actually stuck like glue cornering.
All golfs have a water pump issue (you must be driving it well) and also the MK4's have a gearbox issue/fault, even that aside it is stilla 10/10 car,.
It can be a family car or a wee race machine, depending on how quick you want to drive it and how much fuel you want to spend.
It ranges from 250 miles per tank around town to almost 400 miles per tank on an open road (without heavy peddeling it).
Its quick, comfortable and safe.
Enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine :)
