Description
Highlights Iconic Deep Blue Pearl paintwork Desirable 3-door model Non-resonated exhaust Original Konig bucket seats Free of any unsightly aesthetic modifications Overview The MKIV (or MK4) Golf punched far above its weight in terms of comfort, build quality and looks, but performance was never its strong point.
Whilst the 1.8t found in the GTI and the 1.9 PD found success later on with the tuning scene, out-and-out performance and ‘soul’ was something that was always lacking for the MKIV, until the R32 appeared on the scene.
Introduced in late 2002, the R32 used the VR6 engine for added grunt (and a fantastic soundtrack to boot) along with a Haldex all-wheel drive system and the choice of either a six-speed manual or DSG gearbox.
Available in both 3 and 5-door format, the 3-door shell finished in Deep Blue Pearl has always been the iconic specification thanks to being used as the launch spec for the car, and as luck would have it, that’s exactly what we have here!
