Description
The best value driver's car that can do all things.
Brand new premium Continental sport tyres on front axle
The interior and the paintwork is as good as can be expected for a car of this age.
Full service history. Fresh MOT
2 remote keys.
Cheap road tax.
The wheels are original, but have been stripped and premium powder coated with metallic flake silver.
I've serviced the car more than the required schedule.
The clutch slave cylinder required replacing in 2021, so I also replaced the entire clutch and flywheel assembly whilst at it .
This very exact spec of model of Golf (a lot of money spent on optional extras) is the optimum point when considering almost all imaginable relevant criteria:
1. This age of Golf has buttons for Everything (unlike the screen overload of subsequent models), whilst also having a touch screen if you prefer
2. This GTI has the performance pack, so it has the extra 10hp above others of its age, but more importantly it has a superb limited slip differential and better brakes, gloss red brake calipers with GTI embossed on the front 2.
3. The wheels are crucially 18 and not 19inch, which affords a better ride quality whilst still being very responsive in corners.
4. The car has the dYnAudio stereo and equaliser, which is superb and features a subwoofer specially designed to fit INSIDE the spare wheel. (optional extra)
5. Tilt and slide glass sunroof with sunshade. Still fully sealed and working well. (optional extra)
6. Adjustable dampers which allow the car to ride like a Citron or BMW on cue. (optional extra)
7. Radar guided cruise control & emergency city braking (optional extra)
Bend lighting (the headlights follow the steering at night) with Bi-Xenon lights and auto-adjust. (optional extra)
8. Heated front seats
9. The key can open the sunroof and all windows simultaneously to vanish any stuffiness before you get in. (not on subsequent models / optional extra)
10. Front fog lights
11. LED daytime lights
12. Dual zone climate control aircon
13. No annoying lane departure warning or steering
14. Built in Satnav (optional extra
15. Configurable driving modes
16. Heated wing mirrors
17. 2 SD card slots for music
18. CD player in glove box
