2005 Volkswagen Golf Introduction

The Golf Mk4 was first introduced in August, 1997, followed by a notchback version (VW Bora or, in North America, again VW Jetta) in August, 1998 and a new Golf Variant (estate) in March, 1999. There was no Mk4 derived Cabriolet, although the Mk3 Cabriolet received a facelift in late 1999 that comprised bumpers, grill and headlights similar to those of the Mark 4 models. New high-performance models included the 3.2L VR6 engined four-wheel-drive Golf R32 introduced in 2004, a 2.8 L four-wheel drive Golf VR6 4Motion version available succeeding the Mk3 VR6 which used a 2.8 L VR6 and only had front-wheel drive, as well as the famous 1.8T (turbo) 4cyl. that is shared between Audi and VW models.

As of 2008, certain variants of the Golf/Bora Mk4 are still in production in Brazil, China, and Mexico. Revised versions of the Mk4 are currently on sale in Canada marketed as the City Golf and City Jetta. The two models are VW Canada's entry-level offerings. They received a significant freshening for the 2008 model year, including revised headlamps, taillamps, front and rear fascias, sound systems, and wheels. Both models are offered only with the 2.0 L SOHC 4-cylinder gasoline engine, rated at 115 hp. They are the only entry-level offerings with an optional 6 speed automatic. The production of Golf Mk4 for the US market ended in 2006.

2005 Volkswagen Golf Questions & Answers

Question: Should I buy a 05 VW golf GTI or 03 Nissan 350Z?
should i buy a 2005 Volkswagen golf gti or 2003 Nissan 350Z?

they're in the same price range, i'm not sure what to choose. I'm 25 years old, male.

thanks in advance for any advice!

Answer: If you live somewhere where it snows in winter or rains a lot, get the GTI.
The GTI also has back seats and a large trunk and better fuel economy and low maintenance costs.

The 350z only seats 2 people, is RWD, and has a very tiny trunk.

I have driven both cars and they are equally fun. The 350z is much faster, but the GTI is the smarter choice. I would go with that.

Question: How do you tell the difference between an 04 VW golf and an 05 VW golf?

Answer: look at the vin # on the door post the 10th digit will say either a 4 or 5. 4 means it's a 04 and 5 means it's a 05

Question: Should i buy a 2005 volkswagen golf?
im looking at buying a 2005 volkswagen golf comfortline, i.6Lt petrol with 40,200Klms....is it a good car? i need all the advice you can give me good and bad! cheers

Answer: I think you'll get good gas mileage, but I'm not sure what it really is. You better type it up online and CHECK THAT GAS MILEAGE.

Question: I am about to buy a Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GT FSI from 2005 (35 000 miles). When do I need to change the cam belt?

Answer: Well me I get the dealer to do it now because you have no idea of the cars history and if it has been clocked then it may be well overdue. Do not touch without getting proofthat it has been changed or drive it straight to a reputed garage and get them to do it. Its probably OK but do you gamble on £2.500

Question: Volkswagen Golf or Honda Accord? Or...any other ideas?
My fiance and I are getting tired of driving around beaters. Therefore, we are looking into buying a new car. We would both prefer an import, and refuse to buy anything that does not have a manual transmission.
I'm looking at a 2005 VW Golf. It's a 5-Speed, and only has 15K miles on it, and they are asking 17 grand for it.
He found a 2005 Accord EX 5-Speed with 26K miles on it, and they want 22 thousand.

Which car do you think we should buy? Or are there any other models do you think we should try to find? We don't really care what it is, just as long as it's an import with a manual transmission

Answer: All of them are reliable choices.

Go fo WV if you can offord high price for spare parts ( if the car is insured then it shouldn't be a problem) , better still is the Honda City ( more economic than the German cars and engine is better no doubt)
