@@marijnvdtoom2675 i drive the 1.4 Liter Golf 4 and it‘s an excellent car. Sure it isn‘t as fast bc of the low amount of HP But it get‘s you where you want to go. The only problem that could occur is with the oil consumption if you drive a lot in high gear with low revs.
this guys shifts so perfectly that no one should use automatics anymore. just pay this guy to sit in the passenger's seat and he'll shift for you, and you wouldn't tell the difference.
Even more impressive when you consider how weird the clutch on these feels. Just bought one, it engages super late and is so soft that you basically can’t feel the engagement point. Even my dad who has been driving for 45 years initially stalled it

I always imagined the conversation in the VW headquarters like this: - Renault has a 1.4 with 98 HP (yeah Alfa had them too before, even with 100 HP) - Okay.. why not give them a 75HP version? It won't be fast, it won't be efficient, but they'll think it's fast cause of the name... - Name? What will the name be...???? - 1.4 16V!!!

Yeah exactly, I have 1.6 100HP in Mk1 Octavia (basically Golf 4) and it's already quite slow and very inefficient. Can't imagine driving with this 😂
Yeah this engine also has 100 hp version. I have it in my fabia mk1. It's insane how engine rated to be 100 hp is so awfull fo drive. You have to rev it like chainsaw to see something to happen. VW made big mistake when they didn't put VVT system to these engines. They miss torque in low rpms so they feel extremely slugish. Only somewhat good is engine with code BUD. It is 59 KW version. It may not sound like much, but actually it is the most pleasant version of this engine family to drive.
kinda sad how renault had a 1.2l 16v engine with 75hp and vw needed 200cc more displacement to get the same power. youd think it is vw so it is more premium but no
i have Golf 4 1.9TDi 66kw chipped. Has around 120HP atm. car feels fast. i gota say that for sure. But thats because of the Turbo ,thats doing all the job.
Mine is a 2.0 litre GTi as my first car and it’s an absolute fantastic car! One of the best cars I ever driven! Easy to drive and really practical daily car to drive!

The sad truth is that people think that the more herrsprrs (horsepower) a car has, the faster they can get from A to B. What they do not take into account are; traffic jams are traffic jams, for small compacts as well as coffin carriers -- the more complex a car is, the more you need to dish out to keep it in shape, especially if it is not new. Now, VW made these Golfs (I believe up until their last 2 or 3 iterations) with the goal in mind; keep it simple, keep it acceptable. 75 HP is not a boogie from a 1.4 today. Still it is enough to give you the feeling you are going somewhere. (Look at it rev past 4000 and make no fuss). If and when my car has to go .. I will be tempted to either get one of the older Golfs OR even one of them SDi Lupos ... cuz .. you know; "it ain't fast, rather slow". Thanks, Joe! PS: Three people I know had these cars. One won't sell it; father's kid faring bag of rage. The other sold it, got a Meriva - she did regret it, the Meriva was a mechanical letdown. The third one kept driving it, even when the oil from the engine went to the cooling reservoir - it had a bad head gasket, still it was going every time it was started.
@@vlad_drw the 1.4 is fast if you don‘t shift up when you‘re around 2k revs. I have one and I have no problem with speed. Downhill and pedal to the floor i get to 190-200kmh
Miałem kiedyś taki, po upływie czasu i zmiany aut na mocniejsze stwierdzam, że jednak nie było czym jechać. Do miasta jeszcze jest w miarę. Palił 2l więcej niż mój obecny 1,5tsi
It was my second new golf ,it was a lazy engine ,and to much oil consumption,the problem was finished by an new update for the crankcase ventilation .Nice video 👊
Hi Joe I know I've got a bit of a downer on VAG cars but I do remember being a passenger in one of these way back when and it was quiet and comfortable no ball of fire but it did the job. The owner loved it and ran it into the ground. Nice one Joe, enjoyed it thanks.
Yes 100% I have the petrol 2.0l and I got it as my first car and it’s still running strong the only thing I’ve had to replace is a battery so far. Also you can easily get 800km out of a full tank.
I had this engine on the 9N polo and it was fun and very reliable. But on a Golf with A/C and 4 people? Do not recommend if you are outside of italy villages or something like that. This engine (also comes with 100hp) makes driving longer and exhausting. take the 1.9TDI.
I can only agree, It aint the fastest in slow revs but it drives surprisingly smooth and CAN be driven snappy although that comes with a cost on the engine lol
my dad had one like this but with the 107 hp engine. i would have gotten it but it died due to gearbox problems (for example wouldnt shift into second until you wiggled the gearlever a bit) and rust among other things.
I am confused, Joe is shifting VERY late! I shift to 4 at 60kmh, and to 5 at 80kmh.... he shifts to 4 at 110kmh, and to 5 at 140kmh !!! Am I doing it wrong? I have the same engine as this here, only in Skoda, but it would be VERY loud if I shift this late... I think I am using less fuel, correct?

the 150hp version?
the first car i drove :) it didn't feel so slow ahah. Now i have an mk 7.5 r-line just in honor of this golf 4. I loved this as a kid!

Because of engine too. This one is slow I can say. It all matters what engine you've got. After all, turbo activates around 2500/3k RPM.
I also have a Golf 4 station wagon. He has a right hand drive. Since he is from Japan. 🙂🙃
