The 2nd most boring car I've ever driven was a mk4 Golf GTi. The #1 spot goes to a 5door Corsa 1.2. Mk4's are he definition of average. Very plain looking, plain interiors, plain performance... Nothing really stands out about them. In fact the only area they better the 306 is in the sound proofing, which they have tonnes of unnecessarily, so it's not really a benefit at all. Don't disregard this as being just another pug fanboy hating on a VW. I'm not a Pug fan, I just really like 205s/306s/309s because they're great cars.

my old octy vrs was 230hp and 260lbs and went really well,but defo having more fun thrashing the balls off my 6 reminds me so much of my old ctr.

I think it looks f*cking terrible and funnily enough it has the same wheels as every other mk4, all your missing now is a CD from your interior mirror.

Oh and my 36mpg was easy. Aylesbury to Manchester no higher than 4k I actually achieved roughly 39mpg on the way home

Well i think its fairly smart and not a BAD looking car, probably very comfortable, brisk and quiet... but its looks and the way it drives are both very forgettable and dull, and these cars are incredibly common. I have never much been a fan of the VAG scene. Try giving a nod to the the driver of every one of these you see on the road and you will give yourself a concussion.

So in short, No. My opinion still hasn't changed.

The rear end is especially offensive.

Its not better in all ways no. The engine is better if you take the chance to read about it. Vw/audi/seat wouldnt have used it in so many cars if it wasnt good.

Missed the part where its pretty much accepted the XU10J4RS is one of the best na 2.0l 16'valved engines ever commercially built then?

A lot of people seem to forget that opinions are like arseholes... everyone has one

If you like it thats all that matters

Me personally i do like it prob because i have one myself, maybe im getting old but im quite aqquired to now not worrying about big puddles/non starting/excessive road noise

The cost of fuel these days is ridiculous, ive not had a payrise in 3 years so 50-55mpg tethers quite well compared to the 23mpg i was getting in my rallye. Quite nice to get into it on a cold morning and stick the heated leathers on/climate control in summertime.

I dont know if it may have occured to anyone but there MAYBE another very obvious reason why you see a lot of them

Ive had both a GTi-6 & Rallye and really enjoyed owning them, (gti-6 more so, rallye cost me too much money in repairs), Truth be told if i was a single lad living at home then id deffo have another, however im technically married with 2 kids so GOLF it is !

Hmm then again if i had no ties id probs be driving a M3/Cossie etc...


You will get some better feedback from ukmkivs.net matey, foolish to post this onto a gti-6 owners !


EDIT: ALL IN MY OWN OPINION OF COURSE

Best option is to own both cars lol I have a GTi-6 for fun (which is off the road due to funds lol) and a 2008 Passat TDi for daily run about, best of both worlds! Agree though, that the any other golf bar mk1 GTi and latest shape GTi is dull dull dull, driven most, all big yawns, but they do make safe, reliable and well made cars for knocking about in, just not for fun.
