Volkswagon Golf

Zidane556 · 06-05-2005, 05:47 PM

Im thinking of purchasing one.

Anyone have any expierence with them? Are they better perfromance wise then a Jetta?

If I were to get one I would TurboCharge it.

good little cars.

expect a much, much, shorter engine life if you turbo it.

It depends on what you put the Golf up against. If the Jetta you compare it with is a GLi, the Golf will lose. Any other Jetta will take the backseat to a Golf. I'd go with the new Golf anyway because I don't trust the new Jettas. Another cool thing...Golf utilizes a V6 where the cylinders are in a 15 degree difference, so VW uses a single cam. Neat fact: Ferrari has the same engine design.

WaltSide - why expect a shorter engine life? If anything, it would simply be wear on the eingine. A solution to that would be to re-sleeve the cylinders and maybe change out the crankshaft.

I find the the Golf V far superior in every way to the Golf IV. The only complaint i have is that they upgraded the motor to 170hp the year after I bought mine. I don't feel I have anything to be jealous of with the Golf VI.
