[@lloydeturner7579]

I have an auq vrs. One of the best 20vt lumps I believe...? Dont like these golfs because they're just a big box essentially.

I had a reflex silver 1.8T 25th Anniversary in my stable for a few years, it was quite well sorted, I'll never forget the day I sold it, I really wish I kept it. Replaced it with an Edition 30 which I still have, but I wish I kept the 25th in the garage, it was a bloody incredible car and impeccably clean.

[@iBNKSY]

Got a Starlet EP91 a week ago, 44k miles for £1350, New driver, paid £830 for insurance fully comp, no blackbbox and im the main driver

[@Danny-204]

I love the mk4 golf, I have owned my V6 4motion, had it for 14 years, well maintained and drives like the day it was made and looks mint, being 34 now, I pay £17 a month to insure for me and the wife. Not that she ever drives.

[@jibrilmohamed9422]

Can I buy it off ya mate?

[@BIGZ3D]

17 a month is cheap as chips

[@slim9sa]

As a young drivers we know no one is getting insured on this😂😂

[@TruScottishGuy]

I did

[@moist.teabag]

4motion is cheaper to insure for me

[@_jf-ds3ms]

TruScottishGuy how much

[@HereWeGoAgai]

Depends how much you want to pay, my first full car and provisional car was 280 bhp leon cupra R 1m

[@HereWeGoAgai]

Chris sick mate 👌🏽, if your willing to pay the money then why not 🙄? I ended up blowing the head gasket, was going to go down the forged route 5,500£ was quoted for over 500hp guaranteed but went to a twin turbo 1 series for the rwd, trying to find myself a new cupra R mk1, but not wanting an abused one

[@seanlyons161]

Cheers, I have the 1.8 Turbo 180bhp version that is mint and as you say bog standard and zero modifications (engine code AUQ)

[@supernovaleftover1812]

Just bought a Mk4 2.8 V6, all stock and in good condition for £2000. Might be a bit pricey, but I reckon they're fast becoming a classic.

[@axe2grind244]

Same. Found a black on black leather 24v VR6 with 130k miles for $7500 last year and I’ve already been offered $10k for it. Nice unmolested MK4’s are incredibly rare in the US.

[@BenHartshorne0991]

Great cars and engine for the money. I have a 116,000 standard 1.8t Bora sport for a daily. Same spec from factory as the anniversary mk4 180bhp 6speed. Cost me £600 for the car £300 for the anni wheels. Best money I’ve spent on a car and pulls like a train

[@detron666]

Old but Gold

[@et0474]

I’m getting one soon. Saved up for a while

[@sheldonm3535]

These were brand new when I was in HS. There were def a few of them in HS. All bought brand new. One had a blue R32 so jealous. I believe he still has it as a weekend car super cool. The other kids had 1.8T and VR6. The vr6 sounds so good with an exhaust.

[@sleepercell9926]

I always liked the V5 AQN engine. It was cheaper to insure, had a but more power and sounded a bit like an RS3.

[@calamityyy]

Got one of those atm, insane sound haha

[@sleepercell9926]

@@calamityyy I know right. I remember being so chuffed with that car when I bought it 11 years ago. Mine had a Miltek exhaust with a V6 4motion valance to make it look totally OEM. I remapped it to 190bhp. wasn't the fastest thing in the world but it did sound imense.

[@isheanopangandu8804]

Now this is what I’m talking about. My favourite golf to be honest. I like what’s been done to this one a spec I would be keen on honestly but in black. All black everything.

[@stephenphoenix-roberts9447]

My dad had a red eye it was running 180 bhp and 232 talks from the factory. Vw made 50,000 of them only 250 got registered in the uk. I miss that car.

[@slonky821]

*talks*

[@clarkscott3966]

I owned one for 10 years R32 body kit miltek and a remap 18”s Aum 210ish bhp I paid 9 grand plus genuine bumpers were about a grand I loved it hence kept for so long. I’m unsure about the amount of additional ads on your channel now Tbh very off putting but you got to pay for that rs3 right 😂

[@ImKrull]

jamie i dont think you realise that yes they may be 1500 but to insure theyre like well over 2.5k for someone who is 18 trust me ive tried

[@Jordanpoulsom]

Kruller my 120d is 5k and I’m 18

[@minifranky93]

i got mine when i was 18 and it was cheaper to insure then the 90hp diesel variant now im 25 and pay 380 even with every modification under the sun

[@benjourniee9285]

Insurance is not cheap and as they are a thorn in vw 's foot as mk 4 was never ment to be a future classic . But they are sooner than later . Especially the mk 4 tdi range as we know and the vw scam . The fuckers. So the time to buy is now .and I was in my 30 's as new driver .

[@benjourniee9285]

The best thing you can do is put you voluntary excess up as his as you can . And that will bring your premium down a bit . Just don't even scratch or anything as when I started mine excess I put to 3000 and my premium for first year on mk 4 bora tdi st was 2500 .

[@Laflaremack]

He knows that bro he’s just click baiting

[@MacklandsMotors]

My dad had a new one back in 2002, dark blue, absolutely loved it. Replaced it with a 2005 Mercedes C180 Kompressor coupé, that was some machine

[@shehroz3421]

PD 130 Wins Everytime!

[@zaink7037]

Good engines they are. Sadly these emission charges are going to put them out. The ULEZ charge rubbish they want to expand to the whole of London in 2021 has led my dad to sadly sell his bora with the PD130 as he'll have to pay £12.50 a day to drive the car if the charge gets expanded

[@davidjesson663]

Good vid Jamie! I had an AGU engine'd one. Was on 20k when I bought it in 2002, but written off at 106k by a bint in a mini rear ending it. I loved it - the Recaro's & interior were a class above anything for the money. At the end, it had a K04 turbo set up & quaiffe diff - drove very well. Still miss that car now even with an Edition 30 as the replacement.

[@avocado71]

I've had 2 of these, the MPG figure you describe is far too low, I could easily get 45 MPG on the motorway.

[@jajkc]

I remember when I was young, this car wasn’t a bargain.

[@burner7927]

I took a 8k loan out to buy one back in the day. Agu big port one too

[@JamieFYD]

That’s it man, they were expensive when I started driving

[@zaink7037]

Back in the day my dad bought a 1.4 mk4 golf on finance. Completely modded it and put the 225 BAM engine in it. Didn't want a loud exhaust so it just wofted out silently. Still don't know how he made it so quiet

[@samwatts1655]

I had a anniversary rep and a real anniversary spent loads on them best shape imo

[@benjourniee9285]

Yes about time . Mk 4 time . You will have to go in my bora tdi st Jamie I keep going on I know but this is a perfect sleeper . I have had fitted hybrid pd 150 turbo and a darkside development side mounted intercooler kit and a pipercross panel filter . I do need to remap again and put on rolling road again as I have had new parts since then . . As she is a lot faster since I have had new mods . I have them side skirts on mine . Valance rear splitter colour coded yep I got it . And the same colour reflex silver . Standard exhaust . But got a miltek on the way I have r32 steering wheel . H and R 35 mm cup kit . Poly bushes all round .

I always thought that VW forgot to design the mk4 golf. it was better looking than the mk4 Astra and mk1 focus. 🥴🤮 I love the design of 80s, early 90s hot hatches also really like modern ones. This era of car (95-05) is so dreary. The 306 was a nice looking car, they always got the facelifts right with them too, so it aged pretty well over the years
