2002 Volkswagen Golf GTi Anniversary review from UK and Ireland
"Stylish limited edition of this iconic marque"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Three coil packs have blown all due to the previous owner putting cheap spark plugs in. These cars need the platinum plugs.
Lambda sensor replaced due to the above problem.
No other problems during my year's ownership.
General comments?
What a great car! Beautiful model of the mk4 Golf GTI. The unique spoilers and side skirts make it stand out, and the 18" BBS alloys are beautiful.
With lowered suspension the ride is a little harsh, but the interior is so well built that it still feels luxurious.
Driven sensibly, this turbo model still returns an average of 32mpg. Put the loud pedal to the floor and the acceleration is respectful. With a remap this car is hurried and exciting.
