It's for a warning triangle and first aid kit i believe.  Never seen a mk3 with them in place though.

Look through the owners manual, i think there's a little pic in there.

It's quite useful for storing footballs aswell.

It's also quite handy for stowing a 12 pack of your favourite lager. It doesn't offset the fact that for a car called the Golf the boot is f**king horrendous for putting golf clubs in however. Seriously VW, it's quite a popular sport, even in Germany - it's not inconcievable that a golfer will buy a Golf is it? The only scant consolation is the boot in the Mk4 is even more ridiculous for your sticks.

Damn right!  I have to take my driver out every time.  It's really annoying.  

At least it's funny watching polo drivers trying to fit the horse in.......
