Any car that gets neglected will have issues no matter what. MK4 GTIs are good cars. The 1.8t aren't the fastest but for your daily and grocery getters it's perfect. If you want a funner version of this look into the MK4 R32, 20th Anniv, or GTI 337 . It's practical and more roomier than some people think. The car in this video doesn't do the seats justice but those MK4 seats are some of the most comfortable seats, and yes that's including the back seats. Most people who has owned one before will always say they miss this old car. Not the best car but for sure one of the most memorable one because it's so fun. Sure some will say all these cars ever do is give you headaches but usually most of those cars are heavily modified.

I had an 03 that I sold when my son was born. Had the Frankenturbo kit which has a similar tune to the GIAC stage 2 (like if you had a K04). Close to 300 crank hp, 330tq. Zero torque steer even then. Upgraded to a Samco all silicon hose kit, bigger injectors, and a nice exhaust. Overall, especially these days with how cheap the MK4's are, it doesn't take much money to make it an incredibly fun car that, with the right cosmetic mods, is show worthy in my opinion. Mk4 body style with some good offset wheels and tasteful suspension drop is just gorgeous.

It was no where as cosmetically clean as yours but even though it had some issues they where easy fixes. Check engine light always stayed on but it ran good lol. To bad he sold it. It had good interior and he re did the headliner. If I didn't drive his then I'd most likely rip on yours but they are fun cars with quarks

Only thing shit about the 6 is that the R doesnt have the vr6 engine, but if you want that, just get the mk4.
