Why did you buy a mk4 Golf?
« on: 15 August 2009, 13:04 »
Why did you buy your mk4? I bought mine after test driving one at a second hand car place when I was looking for a Ford Focus. The Focus I drove that day was dodgy so i thought I'd try the Golf and quite liked it. I think the interior impressed me the most.

But, Focuses are cheaper and very good to drive. I probably should have bought one, it would have been the more sensible buy, but I have never liked their styling much.

Dad had two MKIV's and i liked the way they looked and the interior

then i found out about the diesel engines, searched for 3 months and bought the best one i test drove.

The rest as they say is history

Bought it because I needed a diesel and the mk4 was the only car I liked, plus I thought VW's were reliable  :lipsrsealed:
