VW GOLF GTI MK4 “25th Anniversary” // REVIEW on Autobahn

[@jmat6394]

Mk4..the perfect symbiosis between classicism and modernity. I miss mine so much...

[@amabdiyus111]

😢me too

[@maurobeadelouzai1888]

Yo tuve un Golf mk4 con motor Diesel 1.9 TDI 115 cv 6 velocidades en acabado Highline , de color negro y en 5 puertas , era de Mayo del 2000 , empujaba como un demonio , motor de inyeccion directa por " inyector - bomba "

[@apox5308]

It’s shit 😂

[@aid0nex]

If I think of a "car", I think of the Golf IV. This car for me is THE car. Never owned (was born 1999), owned Golf VI as first car, then Golf VII, then A3 e-tron.

[@maurobeadelouzai1888]

@@aid0nex Golf IV quizás el Golf más fashion de las 8 generaciones del modelo. Fué el que mas rompio los moldes del diseño cuando salió , ahi por 1997 , y popularizó los motores Diesel " TDI " , habia la version " Golf GTI TDI " con motor 1900 TDI 150 cv 6 velocidades , un autentico misil con rendimiento y par motor superior al GTI de gasolina con motor 1.8 Turbo 20 Valvulas 150 CV

[@cunjoz]

Mk4 has to go down in history as one of the classic, timeless car designs.

[@Thulani-h7x]

The comfort the was on par with the E46. Heavy and slow but man this golf was thee Car

[@Rigell1]

Hello. I own a Golf4 1.8T 150ps, modified to 255ps, and I can tell you that it is one of the best engines for modified and very cheap to maintain. I'm glad you made this video, even if it's an older car, so you know it's still holding up well. With esteem and respect from Romania

[@andretavares472]

Here in Brazil it got facelifted called Golf GTi Mk4.5 that's why lasted so long than we jumped for the Mk7, we did not had Mk5 or Mk6, odds of our strange market...

[@odin5188]

Interesting. I can understand the mk6 but no mk5

[@DownsizedDreamCars]

Mk4 Golf owner here! Mine’s also a Reflex Silver 2002 but it has a couple of differences compared to the one in the video , that being the fact that it’s a 1.6L 16v AZD engine (105hp) and it has 4 doors instead of 2. It’s also a full option car , and I’ve also added a replica 25th anniversary front bumper lip and debadged my trunk , but that’s besides the point. I’ve got to say , even after all those years it is still a solid reliable car , especially if it is well maintained. The only thing I hate about it is fuel consumption , mine does 17 litres / 100km , which is absurd , but hey , the car is 1 year older than me and it’s also my very first car , so yeah , good stuff. Love the mk4 golf.

[@weetrcek4133]

17L/100km? There will be something wrong with that car.

[@Alexdbre]

It’s crazy how far technology has come! The fact that my Seat Leon Cupra ST, with over 320 hp and AWD, manages just 6.3 L/100 km on long trips and averages around 7 L/100 km is impressive. When you compare that to older cars like my Golf V or your Golf IV with the 1.6L engine (102 hp), which still managed to burn through 15 L/100 km, the progress is clear. Modern advancements like turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and improved aerodynamics really make a huge difference in both performance and efficiency today.

[@DownsizedDreamCars]

@@weetrcek4133 yeah I’m currently planning on taking it to a mechanic , but with a full tank of fuel (50L) , I only managed to get 300km until the fuel light came on. I have no idea why it burns so much fuel since nothing has been done to the ECU , fuel pump or injectors.

[@DownsizedDreamCars]

@@Alexdbre oh , absolutely! Technology and engineering has come a long way since the early 2000’s! Just the thought of making over 300hp and managing under 10L/100kms arouses me! Also , congrats on the car! 320hp and AWD sounds like an AWESOME experience!

[@MrMoldyMurder]

Bro how is it possible you're doing 17/100. Your car is broken.

[@happy_keats]

I really miss the sound of 1.8T engine. There was something addictive about it.

[@Dake2504]

Great video and handling as usual😊 Sir thank you! I used to owned a 2.8 VR6 badged V6 4motion 15 years ago and it was fun enough and had a sweeeet soundtrack to it. We love golf 4❤ from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@abhaygobind106]

you can never go wrong with a golf GTI🙌🔥

[@AnnoyedGlobe-sf9yo]

Sensual.

[@ErenHidiroglu]

It's just a Golf, come on... bad sound and cheap design and i mean every gen...

[@P33CEGAWD]

I have my dads MK4 GTI VR6 it has 340,000km with stock timing chains and 100% factory parts. VW made a great car people but did not take care of their MK4s so its rare to see one in good condition.

[@K3R1MB6]

the mk4 is such a beautiful golf

[@TheChazas]

These 25th editions were real GTIs of MK4 era and with that said super rare, and colors like Tornado Red even rarer.

[@Watcher_in_the_Dark_studio]

When I was a kid, my dream car was owning a Golf IV since my family could not afford a Golf class car back then. When I got my driver's licence, Golf IV was still being manufactured, but still no way I could afford it. I think it is still a great car since it has an iconic design, standing out from Golf V, but still looking modern. Back in the day, it had some really modern specs, being delivered with ABS, ESC, and full airbags set. Finally, it had an option of automatic AC, quite rare for that time in that class of car.

[@_LEGENDARY_EURY_]

The mk 4 golf is a truly timeless design , i love everything about it being an old classic , ever since my dad got one i've been dreaming of adding it to my fleet one day , WHAT A W :) !!!!!!!!!!!

[@tdurdon24]

One of the best looking generations.

[@Earl_Poole]

Great synopsis! This was one of my favorite cars I’ve owned. Of course my car was modified pretty well, so it was a completely different vehicle from stock. Lot of fun for the price. And the styling still holds up to this day.

[@stevec9704]

A German go-cart! 2 of my kids have Golf’s one a 5cyl and the other a GTI and they are terribly fun to drive and put a smile on my face every time i drive one. I own a BMW 440i m-sport and have thought about trading it for a GTI several times. In the US its plenty of speed for a fun car. Thanks

[@marcios.4069]

I have been driving a Golf 4 TDI for the last 17 years. What a magnificent car. It's not a rocket, but it's been a very reliable car and a good companion. In my opinion, it is still a very current car, with beautiful and current lines. I would love to have a mk4 gti as a future classic, but unfortunately in my country (Portugal) there are not many for sale and the few that are for sale are very poorly treated. I hope to continue driving my Tdi for a few more years, it still has a lot to offer.

[@Shutyamouthbruv]

Ive had two of these. Think the anniversary is a lovely looking thing. BBS chrome powdercoated wheels are superb!

[@leonecoutinho]

It is very similar to a brazilian version of GTI called GTI VR6, with only 200 cars sold. It has 200 hp, 20hp more than a standard GTI. The interior is the same as this car on the video.

[@Mateus_galhardi]

Golf vr6 saiu pra fora mais que no Brasil

[@raiNofchAosFPS]

we got 150 here in South Africa and today we went to the track and there was a mk4 like this same model and color and all come home after a long day and here we go. a video about it the same R line mk4 :)

[@AnnoyedGlobe-sf9yo]

Mark 4 R32 was a sexual gem too.

[@dannytourette]

I do understand people preferring the MK4 R32 with manual shifter, but I adore mine with DSG. Pedestrians are often amazed when they hear a MK4 with VR6 noise shifting auto on low rpm 😛

[@AnnoyedGlobe-sf9yo]

@dannytourette both great in their own right but yeah the auto has its own charm

[@Bmw130iE87]

@@dannytouretteoh damn pretty rare too. I also prefer the Dsg Version

[@sv_cheats1970]

I was shocked when I bought my mk4 a while back! The difference in feel between the older golfs and the mk4 is huge but between it and the mk7 its not a huge difference... shows how well the chassis holds up even 20 years apart. As you said, its comfy, easy to drive and feels well built (minus the creaky interior)

[@sabrimehmedsabri4412]

My first car a lot of memories 1.8 t 180 hours power but when I bought was tuned wed interculer lowered suspension diamond wheels all black nothing wrong for the two years I own but after 3 rpm o boyyyy what a car

[@szymon6207]

Do mclaren w1 please ?

[@GabeHells99]

This was my dream car back when I was a kid

[@Clewxd]

I own a 9N3 polo GTI that also has the 1.8T with 150hp. its not much nowadays but for that small car its plenty

[@georgekotseroglou9621]

I got a mk4 1.6 16v with 300k on the clock. Simple lower springs, almost a straight exhaust. Fucking love it. Especially on the turns

[@arthurmatthews9321]

I have the 180 in jazz blue with a r32 body kit and a stage one remap , about 210 bhp . It’s a superb car.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

The Mk4 is my favorite Golf .... perfectly styled, great driving, great fit and finish, and you could get a GTI , a VR5, VR6, or an R32... and of course, the TDI which itself was pretty dope for a diesel....set of coilovers and some Porsche or Bentley wheels on them, and they look absolutely sick 👌🏻

[@Zim5.0]

Vw wanted to make the Mk4 golf more premium than sporty, when it came out, you wouldn't have found a car that is as well built or as comfortable as the Mk4 golf in its class That's why some people hated it, and why many loved it

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

You're forgetting that the 95 Honda Integra Type R was available, 95-01, which was definitely a "hot hatch", it was a lift back, which looks like a trunk lid, but lifts the entire lid and glass....so no, this generation of GTI definitely wasn't "before all the other hot hatches", and don't forget the 89-91 CRX SiR and 1.6i-VT with the B16A1... those were definitely hot hatches with 160hp and VTEC screaming 😅

[@jonasachten1362]

One of the best

[@szymon6207]

No drag reach 350 kmh

[@oriolmont]

I have an mk4 gti 1.8t with stage 1 and I can say that is a really good car

[@oagente.imobiliario]

Brazilian here, we jumped from that gen to the mk 7, and we never had that version here, 1.8 4 cyl 180HP Turbo gti four door was the top of the line. Between that mk4 and the mk7 we had a makeup golf horrendous btw. For last we had the mk 7.5 and the New one we dont have 🥲

[@landroverSV]

The MK4 GTI 24V VR6 And the MK4 R32 24V VR6 are by far the best!

[@Swiss4.2]

Golden era of VW. Quality was very good and the cars were still affordable; now we have lost both of those things.

[@majorxdf]

It's a cool-looking car, inside and out. It's light and has plenty of power. I'd take one.

[@grabthecat]

I'd love for you to get your hands on the VR5... i used to have the Estate version with a custom side exhaust and it was the best sounding Mk4 imo

[@jonathanbezuidenhout3653]

pls come to South Africa you'll love it there are so many vDubs and Toyota's i drive a 2017 Polo Vivo sedan myself which as far as i know they are only made in SA. Love the Video and you guys are the best.

I wish they were a bit cheap to buy , i would buy one immediately ❤

[@Capt_Zaspan]

Had Leon 1m1 Top Sport with Cupra R boody kit. 1.8T Auq tuned to 225hp like Bam engine. Loved the car but usual problems with gearbox left me stranded. Had to sell it and almost cryed like a girl. Car is still by friend from hometown with 340k+ km on engine and still runing strong. Never had engine problems just gearbox and it was on LPG so trip from Croatia to Germany (1650 km) for 120€ in 2018. 😂 Only thing that i didn't like was short gearbox

[@JohnnyRoadRunner-rr6qf]

ooh, I like the more average cars, even tho this is still pretty special. Love your videos mate!

[@nathansutherland892]

U go on about feel from the steering if u drive a new golf gti the mk4 has miles more feel and driver involvement compared to them and is actually built and engineered properly which is why they can do over half a million miles if looked after. And the 1.8 20v engines are the best vw audi engines ever made over the last 30 years and when it comes to tuning potential they can make over 1500hp. Sadly after the mk4 the gti went down hill and was made out of cheap plastic so this is the last of that 90s era when the cars were over engineered and we will never see that again
