Golf IV was manufactured between 1999 and 2006. The fourth generation of VW's supremely successful Golf, including all its derivatives, sold over 4.99 million units.
The Golf 4 is available with a variety of engine configurations from the 1.4litre, 1,6litre, and 1,8T Petrol as well as the 1.9 GT TDI and - of course - everyone's favourite: the GTi.
If you're lucky enough to find a cabriolet, be aware that Volkswagen did not truly make a convertible version of the Mk4; they facelifted the Mk3 Golf Cabrio to resemble the Mk4 Golf. The front bumpers and rear hatch were updated along with other non-structural parts such as fender repeaters, grille, etc.
In 1998, Top Gear Magazine named the Golf 4 “Top Cars - Best Family Car”. It remains a desirable hatchback as Volkswagen cars are renowned for their longevity and safety; it is a badge that South Africans trust. Depreciation is slow and running costs are reasonable.
Overall, the Golf 4 delivers luxury, quality and refinement in a safe package. Its rivals may look sportier or drive faster, but the Golf's superb cabin and solid but understated image are what makes it a favourite.
