Why did you buy a mk4 Golf?

[Devilz]

i bought mine cause always wanted hatchback with turbo. what else can be better option than MK4 GTi

I'm not joking mate,i had a stage4 charger by Jabba and ran a smaller pulley aswell as chipped,still slow.Nothing but trouble,and very very noisy.

Noisy because of the mods? If I had a G60 I wouldnt mod it.

Why not?

Because it would affect its value for starters. Why was it noisy?

Sold mine for £3K,the exhaust was stupid loud.

You must've had a problem car then.. because my G60 rallye absolutely p!ssed on my k03s AGU mk4 in all conditions .. and your raddo would've been a lot lighter. They're a b!tch when they go wrong, but rapid when you get them just right.

bought mine as an everyday car that I wasn't worried about breaking every time I turned the key like I was in my Escort RST.

Doubled up as a good family car as well

Had three now, bought my first 1.8T for the build quality and Golf GTi's are cool to own. Traded that for a V6 4Motion (big mistake!), then had a spell with x2 BMW's, changed jobs and went back to a Golf though this time the 1.8T 180bhp!

They are cheap to run for the performance, are well built compared to other things for the money, they are reliable if left standard (you can't expect a remapped diesel or petrol to behave the same as a standard car!) and they hold their money better than most things.

Down side with them is they are costly to insure..

[Wurzel]

I wouldnt say they're reliable - they're actually below average for reliability. If you want reliable go for a Toyota, Honda, Mazda

Mine has never let me down in the 2 odd years I've owned it

If you look after them, they will look after you... I have mine serviced by VW and it (and the others) have been fine and reliable...
