Welcome to drive the debate

Solid drive. Good performance for Ins group. Safe. Aged well.

Electical issues as they age.

Had Golfs my whole life and i love this car! The Mk3 was ahead of its time style-wise still looks new compared to other makes of its age, just look at any 1995 car except a VW and you'll see what i mean! The Driver is coined as "a GTi without the insurance" and it sure is! Very fast car and though not as quick as a GTi, its close enough and about 10 Ins groups lower! The "Driver" model came with sports seats and body-coloured bumpers so basically looked like a GTi in all but the name. Solid and Safe! My last golf was a Mk3 and i had a bad smash in it and walked away, honestly don't think i would have if i'd not been in a VW...
