ETA: Are you sure that would have been the Mk IV Golf in the test? I would have thought it would have been done in 1997 when the Peugeot was new. I remember choosing the car in December 1997, and buying it at the beginning of 1998, and I'm pretty sure it was the Mk III that lost in the shortlist battle then. But if the Mk IV came out later in 1998, perhaps it was indeed the Mk IV on the test.
Yes it's a mk4, I remember watching the test when they did it and I just watched the first 5 seconds of the YouTube clip and that's definately a mk4.
They used the GTI-6 as it was the best of the then current crop and the mk4 Golf as it was leaps and bounds better than the crappy mk3. The mk4 was released in the UK around this time on an R plate.
