    Fast as you like. The Volkswagen Golf VR6 is very very reliable. It looks amazing and drives just as well! Easy to get parts for even for a 16 year old car! (In my case)
    If something does go wrong then the cost can be quite bad if you go to a VW dealer. Gas guzzler.
    Overall and amazing car and if I think I'll drive this one to death. If this one died on me then I wouldn't think twice about buying another.

    1995 M reg 2.9 model. Had the car for 6 months or so. Paid £900 with no MOT. Took a gamble and have been chuffed to bits since. Car now owes me about £2000 including all mods. I just love driving this car. Its quick, holds the road, (although the torque steer can be edgy) and is always effortless on motorways or backroads. it always entertain. A must try for all hot hatch lovers.

    You havent grown up without owning a VR6, its like a introduction to sports cars. I drive my car everywhere, Its not as bad as everyone makes it sound. I drive my car on weekends and no words can describe how good it really is.
    Buy one, they are cheaper than buying a M3, SL or some group 17 -20 car, only difference is price and perhaps no sat nav.
    Who needs that when you can pick up a VR6 Highline for £2000

    The VW Golf VR6 is quick, and cheaper than most Sports hatchback you can buy nowadays.
    I tend to overtake rather be overtaken. That says it all!
    Definetly buy one. I have a BMW M3 and decided to buy a VR6 for my run around. Trust me its worth it.

    I like the whole VW Golf, it's a master and a classic in it's own leuge, cant compare it, it's a roaring lion when on the road, my moto : VR6 you cant ignore!
    I would do anything to have one like that, never to be sold, no matter how high the price that is being offered...

    I have owned my VR6 for only a short period of time but I have fallen inl ove with it. Black 5 door, twin headlamp conversion, decked on a set of 17" Wolfrace Koyoto's, induction kit, up-rated fuel regulator and re-mapped it truly is the dog big dangleys. Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, had 150 out of it and she still had some pull in her. V Dub all the way, why would you want a piece of jap stuff when you can have some euro muscle?

    I personally think from reading all these comments that you lot have way too much cash spare and don't forget a car is only quick if you can drive it properly. My VR6 is chipped, cammed has an induction kit and it's a Golf and you're right, the suspension is rubbish but a set of Konis or something like that sorts this out and uprated anti roll bars help. I have a full Remus exhaust system I bought all of this stuff because I like it. I get the feeling some of the other people making these commen ...

    I've owned my golf3 VR6 for almost 2years now with no engine/gearbox hassles. I had to replace most of the major electrical parts though which proved to be quite costly:

    HT-Leads
    Airflow-Meter
    Crank-Angle-Sensor
    Coolant-Temp-Sensor
    etc....

    The great thing about VR6 is its torque, not the horsepower.

    Just been reading some reviews on here, the Volkswagen Golf VR6 is getting a little long in the tooth these days but lets not get silly, it still holds it's own. Slower than a lot of modern hatchbacks? or a high performance TDi? I think you must be talking about a different car! Volkswagen Flagship, faster than the model that replaced it due to the lack of good running gear, aka 4x4. I'd buy an r32 in a flash because I'd stand a chance of keeping it on the road without breaking my arm. I've not ...

    My friend just bought a mk5 GTI - beautiful, 200 bhp, black with nice alloys and interior, BUT it does not look like a Golf should - it's an A3 with a VW badge. It costs £20,000 pounds and by the time he has paid it off - the mk3 will be just as valuable with all the depreciation these new cars experience. Look at the tail lights of the new Golf - poor asthetics. Anyway, if I won a new Golf mk5 GTI, I would be happy, but I would sell it straight away and get a later vr6 for £4000 wi ...

    The Volkswagen Golf VR6 is a super dynamic car, which even Superman would have fun driving. Lovely Purple leather which is classic with the aubergine exterior.
    It's got more gadgets than a Lexus, heated seats, onboard computer, digital radio, excellent alarm kit which shuts all windows, including sunroof!

    The Volkswagen Golf VR6 I bought my brother owned from new so I watched him chuck money at it for almost 9 years before he bought a next to new M3. I'd always loved the car so took his hand off when it came up. Twin headlamp conversion, BBS 17's, full s/s exhaust, air filter and VW body kit. I've read that get an up rated ECU increases power to 215bhp whether or not this is actually true or I don't think it can be but it feels like it! I haven't driven a standard VR6 but know people who've had t ...

    The Volkswagen Golf VR6 is one of the only car's I've bought that I wasn't looking to buy it just so happened my brother had his 5 year old one he had owned from new for sale and my Astra GTe16v was getting on a bit I knew the car was a low mileage gem and came with a full VW body kit, massive bbs alloys and an excellent uprated sound system. It was perfect well it would have been if I could have afforded to keep it. As within a couple of months I knew I couldn't run a car doing only 23mph for v ...
