20 years old this week and looking better than ever - it's yours for £20k...
It’s the middle of October already - how has that happened? The nights are drawing in, the rain’s coming down, and the C-word is being openly discussed already. It’s not the best time of the year. Now, the solution to this woe might be to get another car, because we’re all made happier by something fresh and shiny outside. Though even that’s rather easier said than done at the moment. Bring on 2024…, as it was registered on October 17th.
It’s easy to forget now, in the hyper hatch age, that having 240hp and four driven wheels in a hatch was such a big deal in the early 2000s. The V6 4Motion Golfs had never mustered much more than 200, and everybody else was scrabbling around with front-wheel drive. This wasn’t a hot hatch for purists, but for elevating all that a Golf Mk4 did well - the solidity, the security, the style - to another plane, with the added appeal of a glorious engine, it absolutely nailed the brief.
Once upon a time, precious few people saw the old Golf GTIs becoming as collectible as they are now. The R32 did not have to wait so long; values have been on the rise for a while now, because no Golf since has combined styling, sound and quality quite so persuasively. There have been more exciting hot hatches to drive, but if outright thrills matter then no buyer would be looking at any VW.
While the mileage averages out to just 4k a year, it hasn’t done so few miles that the next owner couldn’t enjoy that superb VR6 going forward. The asking price is £20,950, putting it right at the top of. But the affection for the model shows no signs of going anywhere. And just consider those really old Golfs; you wouldn’t bet against this one still looking just as smart come October 2043…
