I was expecting it to be very heavy and very slow but i was well suprised.

Nothing wrong with them. Well built and some nice touches.

But it would be boring if we all liked the same things.

£7000 seems a bit expensive to me....there was a 1999 t-reg for sale mear me 1.4 same as yours for 5,990? and that was with 50,000 on the clock?

just another thing...are golfs like this cheap to insure? liverpool and victoria quoted me less for a 1.4 t-reg than for my 1.2 16v corsa w-reg?

nice car though mate, looks immaculate. and it will look quality sitting low on 18's!

make sure yu get some pics up!

The way everyone goes on about "how well they are built" and "german engineering"

This may of been the case with the old VW's, but the new ones are no where near as well built as the old ones. they cost a bomb to fix too. I also dont like VW customer service. it sucks. This is my opinion. Sorry if its upset anyone in anyway
