2003 Volkswagen GTI 20th Anniversary Edition Reviews

My 20th was quick, and with the REVO chip, it would get places in a hurry.  Bigger brakes and a stiffer suspension over a regular gti were pluses, but being a hatch it liked to get light in the back end (you can fix this by stomping on the gas through a turn, feels weird at first but its all about weight transfer).

Its a vw so squeaks weren't on the top of my list of concerns, and most of the problems with it were covered under warranty.

It looked great and the 18s were hot, but it was still a gti to some people.  Interior was amazing, with recaros wrapping you through turns and an all black interior which just looked amazing.

I got about 27-30 mpg driving conservatively, but once I started to rip on it, seeing 20-23mpg was not uncommon.  I had a warranty covering most of the problems, but with only 70k miles, the car already needed transmission work (not even my fault, one of the forks broke), and other minor headaches.

The car was a blast, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone else, but with german cars, the labor is not cheap so when something breaks, be prepared if you can't do it yourself.

With studded snow tyres it sticks to the road like glue! It does have low clearence but still does great in the snow. With the 6 speed turbo, it powers up the mountain passes at 90mph easy.
For a relativly small car, (in america) it has a ton of room, so stuff and people. I can get my bike in the back and skis too.

i love this lil rabbit it hAndles so good with its lower
and stiffen suspension. its got a 1.8t engine in it with
a custom intake that i came up with. it also is a six s
speed. it say 20th Anniversary edition on the dashboard and number is 3914

The Performance of the car is great, it is very well built as most VW's are. The handling is great with the lowered sport suspension which comes standard on this model. It also comes with 18" rims and a body kit and performance exhaust. Great car to own and will recommend it to anyone.

with minor bolt ons you can easily match the speed/hp/tq specs of a r32
