With the fourth generation of the Golf, VW heralded the higher positioning of the brand. Quality and equipment that buyers had previously only been accustomed to in classier mid-range cars became part of the new standard. Very small gaps also testified to first-class toolmaking. The model update in 2002 can be recognised above all by the changed rear light graphics.
The sober lines of the Golf IV are perfectly emphasised by the Tornado red paint (colour code LY3D). This is complemented by the “Route 66” wheels and the 1.6 litre engine – a typical Golf that could be found by the thousands on Europe’s roads.
