Hi looking for a bit advice on purchasing a 4motion, currently i own a mk4 gti however my wife has taking a shine to it and i barley see it these days, lol. So thinking about treating myself to a 4motion. Is there anything i should be looking out for when viewing one. Any advice would be welcomed.
-
what gti do you have? 2.slow?
4mo is a bit of a step backwards sorta, what makes you want a 4mo?
4wd?
-
Whereabouts are you, as (I know, its cheeky) but I've got mine for sale, its in the classifieds, and its just about to clock 50k.
Fuel wise I get 380 to a tank, so they're not brilliant, but then again, they're not the worst.

had numerous gti's over the years mk2's, mk3 gti and vr6 plus mk4gti that i currently own, torque/bhp not that important to me these days thats not what drew my attention to the 4motion(getting old,lol. happens to us all). Just the details, 6 speed box, 4 wheel drive etc, quite handy 4 wheel drive in scotland. Yeah gti's my first love, however the 4motion looks not 2 shabby even underated. Not keen on the wood in the interior. Not made my mind up on a 4motion though, that's why i was asking for some feedback. A step backwards? Could you divulge.
-
only a step backwards if you wanted power from the engine! but like you say, your not fussed! the 4mo would be a good all rounder!
the wooden dash can be gone in a jiffy :grin:

how is it a step backwords very reliabe and vs a standard gti it will leave u standing has a reliable engine sounds great and is 4wd... bloody good car for the money these days only downside is likes fuel!!
-
yeah thats what interested me in a 4motion, for the cost, it appears that your getting quite a lot of golf for your pound.

Indeed mate i was mega lucky i was going for a r32 origionally but as we had just bought the a5 i noticed a ad in scotads for a 4mo with 60k bought in aberdeen full service history from vw aberdeen full spec imaculate for 2500 i couldnt believe it and at that time r32's were still expensive ... i have to say i hated the wood dash but i changed it to all aluminium for 180 quid and stuck a anni kit on...... i love it bloody good car for the money and it is fast enough so i really cant complain

I don't think there's anything wrong with them either. Lovely v6 sound, plus 204bhp isn't to be laughed at. I imagine fuel economy isn't any worse than the 1.8T.

i get between 18 and 22mpg in town and outside town between 24 and 30 depends how heavy footed but on a long run i got 34mpg at 70 most of the way so not to bad
-
Seems fine to me. Around town I'll never see above 20mpg in the 1.8T, on the motorway if I'm lucky I get 34/35mpg.
-
4x4 rules, anyway of dropping a 1.8t engine in it. :nerd:
-
Just a shame it's not AWD :sad:

my 4mo had 230 odd brake was a great car in the snow bit thirsty mind but the exhaust noise made up for it :grin:
