Used Volkswagen Golf GTI for Sale

I really like the versatility of the GTI, being a hatchback I can put the dog in the car and have room for other things too. The little 1.8 Turbo engine does a pretty good job at getting up and going. It's decently quick for such a small engine. The car was pretty stylish for the generation. It's smooth and sleek compared to some other 2003 cars. The ride is very comfortable and it does a great job in the steering category. The seats are a little uncomfortable and take some adjusting to get used to. At this point I've got it adjusted to where I have no uncomfortability, but my passengers sometimes complain. You can feel how light the car is around corners and it sticks to the road quite well. There are virtually no blind spots in the car because of the large rear windows and hatch. I do have to take it into the shop around once ever 6 months, and the bill ends up being about $1,000 no matter what batch of issues I have to fix. The car only has 80K miles on it, it shouldn't have the electrical issues of a 180k car. The parts are generally inexpensive if I buy them and fix the car myself, but the dealer will charge you an arm and a leg for some of the most basic parts. A coolant temperature sensor cost me $10 and 5 minutes to install, but the dealer wanted over $200 to do the work. The car does get 32 mpg with my mix of city and highway use. I have a 6-speed from a later model GLI installed in the vehicle to help get that consumption.

I've have owned my 2005 GTI for about 10 years. It has been nothing but great to me. I put about 100 thousand miles on it and drove it out of state many times. My wife and I have 3 kids, so we are a family of 5 and I couldn't have picked a better car. It is extremely reliable and the cars power should not be underestimated. The car acceleration and handling is perfect for driving around in the city. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a car.

This is by far my favorite car that I have ever owned. Despite it's less than spectacular appearance and performance, I find it one of the most desirable affordable cars on the market. The Volkswagen has always been one of my favorite car manufacturers. German auto engineering is impossible to beat in my opinion. This car can be fast if you want it to be, but also kills it in fuel mileage and is very sexy. I have gotten laid many times simply because of my car.
