    My Volkswagen Golf Mk4 Tdi 110ps imported and owned since Mar.'99 has now 81k. Both front windows have had plastic lifters replaced by metal but apart from that has been an economical reliable car.
    Disappointingly it has recently developed intermittantly a drop in power usually when driving uphill or accelerating, and first gear is sometimes difficult to engage by going into third instead. While in Germany had engine checked by a VW dealer, but their scanner came up with 'kein fehler' (no fault) ...

    I've owned my Volkswagen Golf GT TDI 130bhp Golf for around 6 months now having owned a 270bhp Impreza before it. It's unfair to compare the 2 cars as dynamically the Impreza is far superior...However, the mix of performance, fuel economy and price is astounding on the Golf TDI 130 and 150 models. As others have said, the torque is great on these cars although don't forget that they also have a 'conservative' 130bhp to back up the torque too. In fact, midrange acceleration doesn't feel far away ...

    The Volkswagen Golf 1.9 GT TDi 130 Mk4 has great power when needed, great size for a small family, good for towing small trailers, ie bike and general use.
    A very good all round car

    Bought this VW Golf TDi from new in 2002, still got it and drives likes new. Excellent drive, fast and no major problems, minor faults with key fob, screen wash leaking but overall happy. Dashboard colour very nice blue, everyone's who sits in car notices it and likes it.

    A good looker with a cult following, and since being a owner of one for over a year, now I am smitten myself. Good handling and all round good performance makes it a pleasure to drive everytime I get behind the wheel.
    This is a cracking car with a proud and understandable pedigree being built by VW. I am overjoyed with mine.

    I have had this car since new. I bought it in January 2001. It now has 40,000 miles on the clock. I have travelled down to Spain on the French autoroutes every summer since I bought the car and the worst return in economy I have had, believe it or not was 58mpg and that was at an average speed of 74mph from the Spanish border to Calais. The most mpg I have had was 70mpg! Hard to believe! The traction control works a treat and the car handles really well and stops very well.

    All round an excellent car. It is expensive to buy, but you get a good car for your money. I love my GT TDI.

    After owning an Audi S3 for the past year I had become quite attached. The only thing is...the S3 gave me 25mpg! Even driving it steady meant no more than 26-7mpg so I thought (as well as my wallet did, it was time for a change)
    I opted for the mk4 golf gt tdi 130 in black and wow is I impressed. I cannot compliment it enough... Ive driven over 300 miles in it so far with an average mpg of 53.brilliant car! It has also been remapped by Customcode and runs at roughly 175bhp, which keeps you smili ...

    An all round good car sometimes lets you down by its handling but it more than makes up for it in every other field.

    I still own my mkiv vw golf I've just had to have new camshaft nearly 1000 no support from vw what so ever log the fault on the car from new Stafford vw could not trace it as they only have technicians that plug and play i.e if laptop doesn't tell them what is wrong they don't know what to look for. Took the car back 5 times no fault found. Ended up taking the car to Stafford audi who diagnosed straight away contacted vw Stafford and UK warranty avail they just didn't want to know, I ended up pa ...

    Had my VW Golf GT TDi lowered 30mm will need to do drop links on front anti roll bar as they are hitting the drive shaft, but that is a minor problem and I have fitted RS6 18inch wheels and it makes the ride so much better and more confidence in cornering - it's a must, I`m thinking of getting the ECU remapped but is 130 bhp ok all should i get more will it give me problems with clutches. It's very rare i get 50mpg out of it only on long trips behaving my right foot had it checked for faults and ...

    I've had the car for just under 2 years and love it. Bought 18 months old from a main VW dealer who were polite and reasonably efficient - although their 100+ point check failed to spot broken rear light, broken arm rest and almost bald front tyres. However this was all rectified quickly and without question when it was pointed out on return to the dealership. The car is now just over 3 years old and running well. My previous car was a 1.2 16v Renault Clio and the difference as expected was amaz ...

    We bought our car 2 months ago due to needing more space for our little girl and all her things. Always liked the Volkswagen Golf 1.9 GT TDi 130 Mk4. We saw this one, jet black, lowered suspension, R32 rear boot spoiler & 18" RS4 alloys, privacy glass in all rear windows, had to have it. My first diesel car, got a real surprise at the power available, the superchip (ECU re-mapped) giving it an extra 40bhp is amazing, if needed whips ass with a lot of sporty petrol cars, pushes out 170-175bhp. Th ...
