What does "highline" mean?

[Chambo]

Hi all first off what does highline mean? secondly i may have the chance to swap my 2001 gti 1.8 turbo 118k for a gt tdi highline 110 118k w plate,very tidy loads of history and everything you'd look for in a used car really.I need something that will help cut my costs and a tdi will be a step in the right direction,anyway in your opinion does it sound a fair straight swap or not if not please tell me why not,many thanks in advance Chambo

its called a highline in europe but in the uk its called gt so i was told,same as my mrs mk5 golf gt in europe they call it sportline,i think the only cars that were called highline in the uk was the golf vr6

Check and see if it is an import, I don't think they were called Highline in the uk.

Nope, Passats (had a new one on a 54 plate, Corrados VR's, Golf MK3 (correct about the VR). Have not come across MK4 ones though.

my mrs had a mk4 golf gt tdi 110 51 plate that did have the white highline sticker in the handbook but was not actually called a highline could be the same as the golf unless it said highline on the log book other wise it will say gt tdi on it

Was it cloth interior? I am certain that ALL Highlines have leather (later ones heated)

[johnnyvr6]

yes mate it was cloth recaro's without them saying recaro on like my 99 golf 1.8t ones do,i think the recaro leathers were an option on mk4's
