I sold it some time ago, but this is what It was:
  • 2001 Golf GLS 1.8T 

  • 5-spd Manual, 4-doors

  • Luxury Package

  • Monsoon Sound

  • Indigo Blue Pearl

  • Black Cloth

Golf IV (styled)

Purchased in July 2001, my fourth car, but my first new one.  I am glad I did, and a bit lucky, I managed to buy it when I did.  A few more months and I would have missed getting the turbo engine. (2002 there is no Golf 1.8T. just GTI, Jetta & Passat) But I like the Golf, and I like having 4 doors.  Had I bought a few months earlier it would have come with the older version of the 1.8T. The newer AWW engine is slightly improved (over older AWD), though still the same power. The '02 models that do have the 1.8T, have the AWP engine code and get 30 more HP, for 180 total. Darn marketing.

Some little things that I had Added:

  • Sunglass holder [VW](in place of drivers side grab handle. Why would anyone use a grab handle while driving anyway?)

  • Tinted side markers [VW]

  • Hella Tinted tail lights (red,black,black,red)

  • Kamei grill

  • GTI headlights (for the fog lights)

  • Panasonic CX-DP610 6-disc changer

  • 16" Montreal wheels, from 2000 GTI [from a friend]

Coming Soon - not! (never installed them...):
  • Tinted bumper repeaters (corner lights) [from a dude on the VWvortex]

And Coming Not So Soon: (maybe)
  • sport springs? sport shocks? GIAC or Upsolute Chip? (guess not...)
