2003 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.8T 20th Anniversary Edition 2-Door FWDReview

German Engeneering , 'nuff Said — 180HP is ok for a fun drive, but not enough to push you into the seat. It's awesome to hear that sound of turbo, yet - going from first to second gear seems to take forever . No major repairs needed so far () , just replaced ABS sensor , that's about it. 6-year old car proves that it's worth to buy limited edition cars. They are just that much better :) Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: FUN FUN FUN! Cons: Expensive parts :| |

Cons: Nothing sucks. |

20th Ae — Interior was fantastic with the recaros, dash, and red accents. The exterior as well keeps a current look. Reliability is the downfall of this guy. I had stuff breaking left and right on me. Gotta long German cars. All in all I'd probably shy away from it and just find something else. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: The looks and cheap power. Cons: The reliability. |

Vw Golf Gti 1.8t 20v — Pretty quick car as standard 180BHP out the factory, Engines are very robust and very tunable. I'm told you can run over 350BHP reliably. Brakes are from an Audi TT, Build quality, well it's German, so... solidly built, no squeaks creaks or anything, it's a very nice place to be behind the wheel. MPG wise it does about 35-40MPG on a run and 30-35MPG around town so it's pretty economical, parts and things are cheap and easy to obtain Pros: Build quality, reliability, tunability. Cons: Standard suspension is a bit soft. |

Vr6 From A Boy Racer — the vr6 i a torque'y motor at low rpms that develops revs quickly. the 6 is a little heavy in corners but ancors it for great liftoff over-stear, when maried to the six speed with bfg gforce's it sings to you at 4 grand in 3rd gear Pros: Great pickup and worry free motoring Cons: Little leg room in the back seat, Turn in understear |

Golf Gti 2003 — 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. Pros: great fuel economy Cons: small electrical problems, doesn't like the cold |

My First Real Sports Car — Love the power, the look, the handling. Not enough room though if you want to take your friends out. I have never been disappointed when racing random people. On the highway the fuel economy is surprisingly good. I average about 28 MPG on the highway and about 24 MPG city. It has the best combination in terms of drivetrain: VR6 engine and 6-Speed Manual Transmission!! :-) Pros: performance, looks, handling Cons: not enough room for more than 3 grown adults. |

Good Car — Great car - standard VW build quality (bloody good). Well equipped, but lacking performance wise. Suffered from torque steer. Would have been better with more grunt, but that would have made the torque steer worse. Great on long drives - very comfortable. Pros: Great build quality, very comfortable Cons: Torque steer |
