    I love my Golf to bits - and i have no plans on getting rid of it without a fight! i have had 2 this year and it is amazing how much better the later models are. My first was a 1994 and was a good car, but after it failing its MOT i decided to upgrade to the newer 1997 model. The ABS and air-con are a godsend!

    The only bad thing i have to say about it is the engine does lack in power a little bit but as most of my driving is on the motorways i dont really notice. But im getting my mate to look at the car for me to try and get more power!

    VW could have done a little better than 115bhp from a 2.0L but im not going to complain - i have been told i can happily see 180bhp!

    Golf/GTI 2.0 8v motor. Great car, very solid. Could be a bit faster but then the excellent MPG would be compromised. I get around 35MPG avg between highway/freeway driving. Bought the car 5 years ago in 2004 for $3000 and it's probably still worth about the same amount. She's coming up on 200K miles pretty soon and still runs pretty much like new! At 200K it still doesn't burn or leak oil and still passes emission tests.

    I love this car, I have had 17 cars in my years of driving and this is possibly my favourite one, the performance is adequate, the build quality is excellent and I have had lots of comments from people saying how good Golf GTi's are. Good fuel economy and enough power to keep you occupied on long journeys!

    How many 10 year old hot hatches can offer a 0-60 of less than 10 seconds, be a practical family car with bomb proof build quality and image and on a gentle run return 40mpg? The answer is only one, the truly iconic and classic Golf GTi.

    Most of the MKIII GTi reviews I have read seem to mention a lack of performance, but this only tells part of the story. The reputation the golf has for being a classy car with a touch of sporty potential and genuine all round practicality is thoroughly deserv ...
