Reviewed a 2004 Volkswagen VR6 2-Door FWD on Nov 5, 2011

This is the nicest car I've owned and I have owned plenty of American as well as foreign cars. It's nice to have every amenity possible including a cold weather package that included heated leather seat, heated mirrors, and head washer nozzles. The tilting & telescopic steering along with the fully adjustable seats make this car fit like a glove. The premium stereo is up there with high-end luxury models as well as the overall performance. The 200 h.p. VR6 runs perfect and with the paired smooth shifting 6-speed transmission, the drive is anything but dull. Congrats to making an affordable autobahn bred sports car obtainable by the working class.

Reviewed a 2004 Volkswagen Golf GTI on Jul 2, 2020

This car is a beast. Toss snow tires on it, and winters in Upstate NY seemed like nothing. Toss nice summer tires on it, and youll have a blast. The only downside is the body roll with the stock suspension system, that is only noticed if you are really pushing the car. I mean taking on ramps at 65 mph or higher. If your good with the clutch and get a feel for it, just skip forth gear. It has the power, and with a good shift, youll be fine. The little bit of power loss vastly outweighs the extra shift time. If doing mods, highly highly suggest a light weight flywheel and a stage 2 clutch. Keep an eye on the engine and the transmission mounts if you start upgrading!

Reviewed a 2004 Volkswagen 1.8T 2-Door FWD on May 9, 2011

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.
