The Mk3 Golf VR6 Is So Good It Makes Modern Cars Look Bad

[@deaks25]

It's weird how much time can change perceptions; I thought the Mk 3 Golf was a bit of an ugly old thing back in the day and yet now I look at this one and think "what a gorgeous little classic".

[@dadcars]

It’s finally come of ages hasn’t it 😅… it still looks large on screen! But in person it’s tiny!

[@Hali88]

I dunno, Mk3 Golfs felt kinda cool to me as a kid. My friend's Mum had one, and she had a Coolio cassette tape in it. It doesn't get any cooler than that when you're about 8.

[@paultasker7788]

VR6 is a step above though. Subtle styling tweaks

[@lorddoobsworth144]

Because our perception is based relativity. Its the same reason older, smaller, lighter cars with manual transmissions feel so special now, because we now have bigger heavier less involving cars to compare them with. Cars that we used to think were too big now seem perfect.

[@tomsandford6133]

Same! I always hated the mk3, even in the vr6 trim i prefered the corrado. To me now this feels like a much more affordable mk4 R32 👍

[@CraigMatthew-w8s]

I bought one of these in 2012. P reg with only 62000 miles on the clock for £1200. Ended up getting the rust sorted and got it resprayed. In my opinion,it is one of the best sounding engines ever and it always put a smile on your face when you put the foot down. Was fairly shocking around corners though because of the weight of that engine. Sold it in 2015 for £2500. Still wish I had it and hate to think how much it would be worth now. The Mk3 Golf isn't renowned for being a good car but I think the VR6 is a future classic and if it wasn't for that we wouldn't have had the Mk4 R32 or the Mk7 R.

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Golf’s are just great little all round cars They are iconic a people’s car. Love your vr6 in lovely condition I love my mk5 r32 Great channel thank you

[@dadcars]

Absolutely 🙌 I’d love to review a R32 🤙

[@VR6MIKE]

the mk3 as a whole is something that was seemingly slept on or hated by many of car community but in the past few years it's a vehicle people are starting to admire. ive had the odd "they rust easily" but yet my golf's arches and sills are completely fine. mines only a 1.8 auto 4 speed and i honestly expected it to scream its nuts off on the motorway but it sits just under 3,000rpm at 70mph and is pretty quiet in the cab

[@davidlang3625]

Thanks for reminding me that this car is nearly 30 years old. I was in my late twenties when this car was registered so I feel really old now!🤔😆. You are right, this was such an improvement on the excuse for the Mk3 GTI at that time which was marketed just as a GL in some other countries. Its good to reminisce to a time when cars were bought for driving pleasure and not for the size of the infotainment screen. 👍

[@dadcars]

🙌 it’s sobering when you realise how old some cars are! The DB9 is 20 years old 🙈

Nice to see a standard, good example of one of these. I quite like the understated looks actually.

[@paulallen3839]

I remember a friend of a friend picking me up in a VR6. It was such a subtle looking car i never realised it had such an unusual engine in it. Cool motor!

[@davideyres955]

The nice thing about the vr6 engine is it’s got a lot of low down grunt. So you can be quite relaxed through the gears. It make for a much more relaxed drive.

[@kevinmarshall549]

I own a 2.9 vr6 high line in 2024 my second vr and in all my years of driving I can say hand on my heart the vr is the best thing Iv ever driven

[@priyampatel]

Excellent video Ben. I agree with you on this one. I'm 20 and a student at that but, the first car I get will either be a Karman Ghia, a MK4 R32 or a Passat CC (with the 3.6 VR6). Being in Canada, AWD is necessary so the latter picks but the class of the KG can't be repeated and not to mention the practicality of all three. The VR6 engines are quite tuneable too (eg: tvs engineering's MK7 with the 3.6 VR6 pushing upwards of 750 HP.) For a first car, these options are the best bets (maybe add the early gen mazda speed3 to the list for this one). Great video reminding everyone the excellence of the VR6 engines.

[@dadcars]

Yeah I can see the temptation to tune and modify these which is what makes this one so special. It’s joyous getting to experience it as it would have been in the 90s 🙌

[@Two_Phones_Eddie]

Only tunable with FI which is well pricey

Great vid, Ben. I have a Corrado VR6 and have driven a couple of Mk3 VR6s a number of years ago, so I can appreciate the engine in these. Been following your socials for a while (here and Instagram), love what you're doing. As a fellow dad of young kids - albeit with half the size of your brood! - this all resonates with me. Completely novel concept, mega interesting, but your appeal goes beyond that; I have friends who don't have kids but tune in for every new video.

I love VW’s of that generation. The early TDi, for example, was amazing in any car. Versatility is great and build quality makes them tidy and rattle-free for decades.

A little story....i had a polo 6n2 1.4. When i was 19/20 years old i came across a breakers yard in bolton manchester that had a golf vr6. It had dark blue leather seats with white pipeing. Ultra ultra rare. Paid 200 quid for the full set. And becuase the mk3 golf and polo 6n2 are same platform they bolted straight in! People at shows loved them..magazines and everything. Im now 35.

I have a Golf Mk3 Vr6 as my weekend summer toy. It is unbelievably good fun to drive but would I have it as my daily? Its cheap to repair + easy to work on but it does need more maintenance than a modern car that's for sure. The Vr6 engine when looked after well can give you 35mpg + as well.

Excellent review and a great perspective on modern cars. I’ve used an almost identical VR6 daily for the last 4 years, not because I’m a big vdub fan but because it’s perfect for my needs and does everything well! I worked in the automotive industry for 40 years and have had Golfs of all types Mk1 to Mk7.5 but these old mk3’s are the best combo of practicality and classic appeal imo. I also get the thumbs up and approached by folks wanting to buy it, not bad for a €1200 car you can move house with or tow 500kg of logs!

i daily drive a mk2 golf and i don't miss a thing, it's fast enough, corners well, visibility is great and the small size is super handy around town. I would like a mk3 maybe as a replacement, since my mk2 is almost in too nice condition to daily drive and the mk3 is very similar

Golfs have always been well designed. The mark 7.5 I've currently got has everything where you want it to be whilst still having Sat nav, android auto etc. Contrast that to our other car. A 2012 mini cooper S where everything is exactly where you would least expect it to be and they've even made indicating overly complex, far too easy to accidentally indicate the other way when cancellinh. In terms of how it drives they're the other way round. Mini drives analogue. Have to drive it. Golf drives to be easy and secure. The mini will put a smile on your face. With the mark 8 golf usability took a big hit. Rather than laugh at it others copied it!
