The MK4 Golf in my opinion is the best all rounder golf. I had a 1.9tdi one of the all time great engines, it did 215,000 miles when I sold it. The MK5 not as good.
That's a good car. I've tested the 1.6 and the 1.8 20V and there's not a big difference between them...good video Joe, I love these car test of the beggining of the century....great!!!
you're comparing a 100hp car against a 150hp car lol there IS a difference, especially if you get a 1.8 20v off a Leon Cupra, they're 180hp same engine...
@@davidcasas3862 my bad then, thought you just missed out on the t after the 1.8, didn't know they made a non turbo 1.8 only other Golf with that amount of horsepower was that 2L GTI that was N/A. slow as hell for a GTI. sounded good though with an exhaust
@@2Skills4u the 2.0 Gti mk3 8v offered 115 cv and yes...most of people thought that was slow...although the 2.0 16 with 150 cv was faster (not faster than the Astra, his main rival).

I can see the strugle with popping it in first. Try, when trying to put it in first gear, with the clutch pressed, first sliding it in second gear and then slide it back into first. Because of the alignment of the gears it should slide back in without trouble. At least that's what I do in my Astra G with a similar first gear issue and it works everytime and also is gentle on the gearbox than just forcing it in. Merry Christmas!
340k km of mileage in poland might mean that it came from germany with 500k in 2005, mileage was changed to 100k, the second owner drove it until 500k (900k actual), changed it to 200k, sold and the third owner drove 140k more 😀
I have a Golf 1.6 2002, 1.6 (EA111 engine) and even today, it's an excellent car, here in Brazil this was the second generation that landed here, but we still consider it as an MK4. It was manufactured here from 2000 until 2006, soon after we had the Golf MK4,5 which was the restyled MK4 and equipped for the first time with a Flex engine (ethanol/gasoline) this version was exported to Canada and called Golf City, around here this version was sold until 2013.

From Golf IV upward, at least visually, it might be the least changing car model in history. I think the German manufacturers in general are the most scared (or simply lazy? ;)) of doing any changes to their cars with any new generation. BMW is similar nowadays. It's not a bad thing when the car is good, but it's unfortunately also more about marketing something "new" every couple years when there is nothing new, just like with smartphones of graphic cards nowadays lol. Just compare this IV gen to XIII gen, and then you will see, the latest should be an actual V gen, and its still so similar ;)

This generation of Golf very reliable, mileage 330k still goes strong

besides the appearance, golf mk4 still doesn't feel outdated, even being almost 25 years old
Amazing how it still works 23 years later!
