I bought a VW Golf 2.3 V5 in August 2003. Soon after buying the car I noticed that following a spell of rain, the brakes screech very badly when parking or pulling up to traffic lights. Sometimes they vibrate heavily. Where the brake pads come into contact with the disks, a rusty deposit forms rings ...

I got my Volkswagen Golf 2.3 V5 through my company car scheme. Having paid the premium through car tax I was pleased with the power of the engine. The HP isn't that high, but the torque, or simply mid range pull of the car is substantial.
It sits in traffic and potters round town well. But it be ...

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 fo ...

I bought my Volkswagen Golf 2.3 V5 from a car supermarket for a very respectable £8K. The car is well balanced and handles well. Its 170bhp makes it very responsive throughout the engine range and when you reach 6000rpm a personified throaty howl comes from the engine as it crys out for the ne ...

My Volkswagen Golf 2.3 V5 really goes but doesn't run away with you. Pretty much looks like a normal Golf but has some power under the bonnet! Love it!
Why don't they make them any more? I would like another one when the one I own gets old! I'll have to save up and get R32.
Beautiful car and y ...

The 2.3 V5 Golf Mark IV is a very good car that could be rare to find. It has a 150bhp 2.3 engine which has an interesting sound when revving up. it's easy to get to 190 km/h without being aware... very good acceleration. people think you have a normal golf, and you get out of their sight.

I bought my VW Golf V5 with an after market stainless steel exhaust (Scorpion) and it sounds fantastic. It doesn't sound rediculous, like some boy racer, but mellow and purposeful, like a proper rally car - and that's because Scorpion know what they're doing when it comes to exhaust design.
Get your ...

I have the 170bhp VW Golf V5 auto tiptronic 2002 mk4 model imported from Denmark with UK spec. I too have noticed vibration throughout the car as when the car is stationary and engine is running. It's a bit annoying but I can live with it. VW Slough were unable to explain - dissapointed in them. I h ...

This is a well built car, good easy drive, with the v5 engine 170 bhp she can pop along if you wish, I realy enjoy my v5 and I hope to keep it for a long time, my wife finds it very easy to drive and park, with the power steering, a very realiable car for the family or the single person.
