Used Volkswagen Golf GTI for Sale near Lagrange, GA
A new engine option was among the upgrades made to the Volkswagen GTI for the 2000 model year. The 1.8T, which was available as an upgrade to the two-door GTI GLS trim package, was a turbocharged 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder powerplant that generated 150 horsepower. It joined two other engine options available in the GTI in 2000 -- a 115-horsepower, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and a more powerful 174-horsepower, 2.8-liter V6. Not surprisingly, the V6 was the choice (and recommendation) of many reviewers and critics, even though gas mileage suffered greatly due to its higher performance.
A five-speed manual transmission was standard across the line, while a four-speed automatic was optional on the GLS and GLS 1.8T (but not on the high-end GLX).
Standard features for all GTI trim packages included alloy wheels, a sunroof, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power door locks, anti-lock brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo system. The GLS 1.8T and GLX added traction control, while the GLX also added leather seats, wood trim, an automatic climate control system, and 16-inch wheels, among other features. A CD player was among the options.
The Volkswagen GTI drew an interesting mixture of real passion from drivers who raved about the car's handling, performance, and features, and real disappointment and even frustration from other drivers who complained about unreliability, durability issues, and frequent, costly repairs.
4.6 Overall rating
(36 reviews)Top end performance is good,but on quarter mile it is surprisingly sluggish although it is turbo-charged. Build quality is good and it sits on the road like glue. It has black leather interior which is in immaculate condition. The white coloured exterior is in very good condition with no modifications done. Car is more than fun to drive.
Handles great, especially in bad weather, though not as nimble as previous GTIs due to additional weight. Mileage is decent even when driven enthusiasically(20mpg city average for mine). Design is clean, functional and understated. Only gripe on the interior is the placement of pullout cupholders above the radio. Still use the stock Monsoon system in mine and it still sounds great. Overall a blast to drive.
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.
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.
Its a great car, sporty with a good amount of power when needed. Good looking car from all prospective and is part of the GTI legacy. With out a doubt the funest car i've had and was completely worth the buy.
