Is the mk4 really all that bad?Dominic wrote:Mk 3 & Mk 4 golfs were not the best, especially the GTis - VW got back on form with the Mk5.... IMHO!
It was really the GTis I was referring to. When I say that they were not the best, what I was meaning, was they were not VW's finest hour; still far better than much of the opposition!Corranga wrote:Is the mk4 really all that bad?Dominic wrote:Mk 3 & Mk 4 golfs were not the best, especially the GTis - VW got back on form with the Mk5....

I kinda figured it was all about the reputation it got for being a little screwed over rather than being a particularly bad car..
They seriously screwed up the GTi, especially in the UK with the 110 or so hp 2 litre that was badged an SE or something in Europe.
Then there was another with 125hp or something, then the 'proper' GTI only made 150hp (rarer anniversary model excluded) when the prettier (IMO) Leon Cupra like mine made 180..
The mk3 golf was hideous..

Mk4s are great, just not a "drivers" car. VW UK screwed up badly by badging the 2.0 115bhp Highline (as it was called in mainland Europe) as a GTi here - that badge should have only been on the 1.8T (which was a pretty good car, especially with the sports suspension and Recaro seats). Thankfully they seemed to have learned from that mistake..Corranga wrote:Is the mk4 really all that bad?Dominic wrote:Mk 3 & Mk 4 golfs were not the best, especially the GTis - VW got back on form with the Mk5....
