    Well, I am the proud new owner (or at least will be next Saturday when I can pick it up) of a 2002 Silver GTI

    Looked at 5 cars today, and this was the stand out, despite it not having the recaro's I had my heart set on. This one was just in too great condition.

    I'll post some pics next weekend, but it is a very stock affair in very clean condition.

    Thanks again to everyone who posted some great information in this thread, it was a big help!!

                  Hey guys,

                  This is my first post, I just found this great forum. My name is James and I am from Melbourne.

                  This is a great thread and I myself was thinking of buying a MK4 GTi very early next year and I just had a couple of 'super newbie questions' to add to this thread.

                  1. The MK4 GTi's only came in five door in Australia yes?

                  2. Did only the 99-02 have the spoiler lip and the deep recardos (I know it was asked earlier in this thread but I was abit confused)?

                  3. Did all Mk4's had the 1.8 litre turbo with 130kw and weighed 1300kg?

                  Sorry about these newbie questions I know some were answered before - I just wanted to clarify.

                  Cheers,
                  Jimbo14

                    Hey Jimbo!
                    Welcome mate... as one newbie to another, let me just say that this forum and it's members are a huge help!

                    From what I discovered whilst finding my car to answer your questions (i don't claim i'm 100% correct however, this is just what I found in my personal experience)

                    1. Yes, only 5 door here in AU for the GTi, the R32 came in a 3 door.

                    2. My car is an 02 and doesn't have the deeper Recaro's (despite that being what I was really after) In fact, 2 01 model cars I looked at didn't have them either. So if you're specifically after those seats, stick to 99-00 cars.

                    3. AFAIK, the cars delivered here are the non drive by wire and are the 110kw 150hp versions.

                      Thats for the warm welcome Sierra055!

                      I did not relise the MK4 GTi's were only 110kw/150hp.
                      I thought they were all 130kw/180hp.

                      Can anyone clarify?

                        any unmodified mkiv gti that you buy here will be 110kw.
                        there are higher powered ones sold overseas.

                          Damn, thats a kick in the pants.

                          I was all exciting thinking they were pretty fast with 130kw (stock).

                            With a little bit of a tickle (read: dump pipe and chip) you would be making above those figures anyway... I wouldn't get too disheartened.

                            Have you driven one yet? If not, you might be pretty suprised. I know I was!

                              No I have not had the opportunity yet. I am sure even if the golf has 110kw they would still be a very fast automobile.

                              I was just also looking at a 2003 Subaru Imprezza WRX which as you know does not have the european flavor but im guessing it is alot faster.

                                MY2000 GTI has 2 doors,BBS wheels and no sunroof

                                I'm curious, as my new toy was German delivered with 2 doors, 16'BBS wheels, Recaros but no sunroof, and obviously LHD....

                                Were 2 doors every sold in Australia??
