Excellent Durability and performance

I have owned 2 of these exact cars in the past, one for me and one for my wife and they have always ran top notch. They have the most reliable engines in my opinion. The style was great, handling and reliability. We fell in love with these cars.

Excellent Handling and power to spare

I have owned 2 MK-IV GTI's and I have to say that the VR6 is one of the best cars i have owned. The power is excellent for the weight of the car. Handles excellent and has been every bit reliable. Pleanty of legroom and headroom. Stock stereo is every bit as good as an aftermarket one. Add a chip and a few bolt ons and it is an excellent track car. Gas mileage is as good as can be expected. Road noise is minor at highway speeds. Rear seats are roomy for a hatchback and there is plenty of cargo space.
