I would go for a post 2001 model, comes with the AUM lump (KO3s turbo) can be mapped to hold more bost that the AGU/ARZ lumps - if you want big power and are going to be changin turbo's etc go for the older ones as they come with a big port head.

Will always love my mk4 but she had to go...225 Quattro TT in its place....but its still black (she lives on in spirit!)

i think the 150's are great also owning one helps lol go for it if u buy a smaller bhp one u might spend alot of money trying to make it faster and u can save and money go for the best but make sure ur insurance can be good for u

I think in standard guise, the AUQ 180 bhp (2002>) is the one to go for - Also comes with a 6 speed box - Whether that's a good thing, though, is down to personal opinion!

6 speed box is the nuts, saves petrol on the motorway!

I agree with Ivor. Only golf's ive driven are a 1.6  :undecided: and my beloved anni which I have atm. I can only imagine one difference between the Anni and the 150bhp golf, and that's the performance as standard. Definitely great fun to drive though and looks the mutts!!  :grin:

thanks for the info !!!

hopefully i will have a 4k budget to spend in summer on a car.

so far it looks like its going to be a mk4 18t 150

others cars i have seen in this price range are

minty MK3 vr6 (tbh first option...) :cool: :cool: :cool:
ratty but fast 2.0t skylines  :rolleyes:
and..... audi 1.8t a3 (think the mk4 golf is better ? ) :nerd:
few leons  :shocked:
mk4 Tdi  :wink:

if i do get a mk4 it would have to be black 3door  18s /40mm drop and a dam good remap

still noted look out for a AUM lump
