Reviewing: 2000 Used Volkswagen GTI GLS 1.8T

Bought this car new in 2000, due to the styling and
quickness.  Within the first year, I had to return to the
dealer 4 times for window regulators that failed,
sending the window into the door, never to roll-up
again.  Very fun car to drive, lots of bells and whistles,
but I'll never buy a VW again.  Too unreliable.

Pros — Speed, agility, level of trim and features
Cons — Reliability, engineering

I bought the car knowing it was pretty quick and upgrades can be easily done to it. Luxury was also important to me, so the heated seats and leather package was the selling point. it Currently has 175,000 KM's with no issues. With it's quiet, comfortable ride and small form factor. makes it great for driving around the city. With the rear seats folded down, it's great for camping trips or carrying tons of gear! I love the car.. i would only trade it for another GTI.

Pros — good on gas, small, comfortable, quick.
Cons — 91 fuel, to low for winter (stock)

It's bloody wonderful to have the old girl back on the road, now i've finally fitted the anniversary kit and had the miltech exhaust system installed she looks better than ever, and it also means that she's ready for the ECU remap baby! Sweet.

Pros — Quick, reliable, well made, spacious, excellent engine, and a lot of aftermarket parts.
Cons — bloody loads of golf's on the road. make it look special.

This is a powerful little beast with a 2.8L VR6 and 5 speed manual. Of course traction control and abs make for safe driving even under the pressure that I put it through. Extremely fun to drive yet reliable at the same time. This is a car that you could take to the track and drive hard, then drive it right back home. Nice interior and racing style leather bucket seats make for driver stability around hard corners. Overall I love it and you can't get me away from it.

Pros — Power, speed, quiet interior, sexy looks, leather, 5 speed manual
Cons — Engine parts are expensive.

The exterior of the car gives it a fat sleek look compared to the previous generation.  The color of the car is called tropic orange, which is hard to say that most orange cars look good, but it looks great on the GTI, a color that you do not see at all in Ohio.  Interior styling is a bit like its cousin the Audi, Volkswagen made the GTI into a sports car with nice luxurious features, such as automatic climate control (Climatronic), heated front leather seats.  The wood trim fits well with the car, its not "goddy" at all.  Sun roof is great on hot days.  The 12v VR6 moves the car without any lag, the five speed manual transmission works effortlessly, Overall great car.

Pros — 31 mpg out of a six cylinder!, Heated seats, handling, and performance.
Cons — nothing yet

Great performance and road manners, but not for the faint of heart.  You may be able to beat me in a drag race, but let's go down a curvy back road and let's see who wins.

Pros — Sound, looks, and power and heated everything in a fast little package.
Cons — Engine gets hot very quickly and takes a toll on performance and durability.

I took one out and could tell it was having some engine trouble.  If you find one in good condition I wouldn't tell you to buy it... then again I would be hard pressed to tell you not to buy it.  It's good around town and is still fun enough to keep you from getting bored (if you're that sort of person).  It's also pretty comfortable for a sporty hatchback.

BUT if you really want to get a Golf or Golf GTI I would really suggest picking another year than 2000-2006.  Of course you COULD just pick one without the 1.8 liter turbo engine- but that wouldn't be any fun.

Pros — pretty comfrotable, sporty, fun and still an everyday car
Cons — 1.8 Turbo engine is known to have some problems.
