Pros: Competitive price, fast, very reliable
Cons: Difficult to find at the dealership
The 1999-2000 Golf is a cool little car. For about $16 thousand (GL w/ taxes), you get a 2-liter 4-cylinder engine with 115 hp (same engine as the Jetta), lots of interior and exterior features, and the car itself is a self-described chick magnet.

Pros: Styling, Abundant Luxury, Hip VW image
Cons: Quality lapses
There is much to love about the 1999 "new" Golf. Ours is a 4door GLS with the luxury package purchased brand new. It was one of the first the dealer sold and it really turned heads when we first got it. Other Volkswagen drivers recognized it as...

Pros: fun to drive, easy to park, good gas mileage
Cons: a little more expensive than other options (but you get what you pay for)
With the gas prices on there rise here in the SF bay area, I decided it was time to get rid of my 19 mile per gallon sports car. It was time to move onto something a *little* more practical. The first thing I decided to do was write down what my...

Pros: spiffy, smooth ride, shifts easy
Cons: awkward control panel
I have owned 4 VWs. The first was a 1973 beetle. It was a flower pot that had been sitting in the driveway for 3 years. Someone had given it to my father to pay off a debt. Of course it was a piece of junk. It had weeds growing up through the...

Pros: Utility, comfort
Cons: Engine can be weak, noisy
For years (about twenty-four to be precise), the automotive world has recognized the hatchback as the most practical car design. The 2000 Volkswagen Golf is simply the top of the hatchback food chain. I've owned a Golf for eight months now, and every...

Pros: Easy to park, fun to drive, great-looking interior.
Cons: Restricted rear passenger space, limited options for GL, styling is on the conservative side..
I'm 22, male, and my 2000 Golf GL is my first car ever. See the picture? That's the one I own. (The caption says it's a Golf TDI GLS, but that's an error. The car in the picture has only two doors!)
I must admit: before getting my Golf, I...

Pros: Handling, interior quality, cargo room
Cons: Mileage and visibility could be better
This is a terrific car in almost every area, so the few minor negatives are easy to overlook. It's been one of the most popular cars in Europe for two decades and I've never understood why U.S. buyers have ignored it in favor of ugly, inefficient, or...

I am a long time admirer of European auto makers, and have been waiting for a great value in a luxury car. That's right, a luxury car. My 2000 Golf GLS TDI can surely be considered a luxury with its many extra features or without. The ride of this...

When somebody just thinks about car and have in mind European car right away got scared about price, but expecting very good quality for money. The New Golf is one of those, but for less money you are getting really something you never dreamed about if...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No 
Pros: Esthetically appealing and reliable if maintained property and regularly.
Cons: Cheap interior, expensive dealer costs and poor paint.
The Bottom Line: If you are thinking about buying an MKIV today, make sure you are mechanically inclined or you have an extended warranty.
Before I begin, I thought you might like to know DIY means "Do-It-Yourself". And finally, an MKIV is a Golf produced between 1999 and 2006.I bought my 1999 MK4 GLS back in July for $5000 with 80K miles on the clock. After reading over 50 ...
