Volkswagen Golf Hatchback 1.9 GT TDI (150ps) 5d (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Quite pricey, but Golfs always hold their value well. I suspect this variant will become one of the 'classic' mk4s, so expect it to hold even more of its value.
Costs
Have had one service so far at 17,000 (variable service routine). No other costs at all apart from the usual, tyres etc.

On the road
Driving
Great for motorway driving, especially with the 6th gear they've given us! Lowered suspension helps a lot.
Performance
Torque! This car pulls like a train in all gears. Amazing performance for a diesel. You'll be able to keep up with 99% of other cars on the road, and the economy is a great bonus.
