Volkswagen Golf 4Motion Review

GOLF 2.8 V6 4motion 2001 (51) black



I was looking for a car without all the body kits (growing up!!) but with a V6 as i love the sound of a real engine and not a 4pot turbo and this along with perm.4 wheel drive does the job well and is a good starting point for people who want a decent engine and vw build. Its 2.8 is smaller than the r32 but I picked mine up for around £3.5k! while the r32 is still selling over 8/9k and this isn't far behind in power and speed maybe 0.6 of a second. The thing i love mosts is its power and torque for a small car and people who don't know cars wouldn't know you have a well built sports car under the plain exterior, only give away is a slight lowering and small body kit similar to the standard gti. oh and the lovely v6 4motion badge and twin chrome pipes you have to keep clean!! I see so many awful black exhausts and it doesnt look right. The o-62 is around 7secs but mine I know canes new gti's/cooper s that are supposed to be the same so i actually think the v6 gets better with age! Overall a lovely deep sporty sounding tick when stationery and a mean scream when at 6000 revs!! 2nd 3rd and 4th especially when dropping a gear at a roundabout..a hidden stealth car to beat most cars in this price range hands down!Don't buy this if you don't like your local petrol station as it is thirsty when fast but not too bad if you keep in low gears and cruise. Oh and its rare only a fraction of these were made compared to gti's and I have only seen 2 in 18 mths driving and don't be fooled by the cheaper v5 basic this is a different car in terms of handling (4motion) and power (V6.Hope this helps..craig
