Used 2004 Volkswagen Golf GTI 1.8T 2-Door FWD for Sale near Davenport, IA

Preformance, this car is just a monster considering it is a 4 cylinder engine.. Mostly due to the turbo's work but still.. It's economic, fast and will whip just about anything you can see. Build quality, German. that's all i have to say. Appearance, German Quality, sharp appearance. Upkeep, economic gas mileage. Fun factor, Whippin' and taking names.

The VW GTI 1.8T is the turbo (non-diesel) model of the VW Golf, and the turbo does a lot for it. Not only does it make this car have a lot of pick up and great acceleration for such a small little thing, but the sound of that turbo winding up when you accelerating is exhilarating. By far one of the best Volkwagen vehicles made.

Awesomeness. One word to describe this amazing drive. From the solid, down to earth steering... To the twitchy, tight suspension. From the growl of the turboback exhaust, to the whistle of the forge diverter valve. No Honda can compare to the fun level. No Toyota can compare to the reliability. No import can match the build quality of this car.

Great performance and fuel economy at a great price. Surprisingly well mannered in all conditions including snow. Drives well in the Alaskan snow and bitter cold. Has never left me stranded and nearly zero maintenance costs over the last four years. Recommend VW's to anyone.

I got it tuned to APR Stage I and gave it a cold air intake. Performance wise, I would say this car is average or a little above average with ECU tuned. The little turbo makes it a little exciting to drive, turbo sounds awesome with the cold air intake. Driving the car feels quick, but actually not that quick. Handling wise, this car has tremendous body roll and a little understeering. In my opinion, a rear sway bar is a must for this car. This car is old, so the interior is kinda worn out. Trims and surfaces feels cheap, interior always make noises, I won't say it's a pleasant atmosphere inside the car. I bought this car to save gas, and it's giving me pretty good mpg with 25 really bad city in miami and 30 highway. Overall, an okay car for me. I am happy about the mpg, and the turbo make it fun to drive when you need some power. Best of all, it's cheap and easy to mod and maintain.
