mk4 golf gti anniversary 1.8T

[BAKS42]

Going to check one out tommorow, been out in a standard one but had been remapped etc to 225bhp with suspension upgrades. went really well, just wondering is it worth the extra for the anniversary and keeping it in standard form, or buying the standard one and having some money left for some upgrades? what are your thoughts? thanks

really depends on what you are after the anniversary has quite a lot of differences to a standard gti turbo and you will pay a premium for an anniversary over a standard gti,pretty sure the anniversary is 180bhp where as gti comes as either 150 and 180bhp 150 have 5 speed boxes 180's have 6 speed i brought a 150bhp model had it mapped to 210bhp and love it i have done other bits to it suspension brakes etc,it really does boil down to what you are after, worth having a look at either http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/ or http://uk-mkivs.net/ hope this helps

Anni should lose less value as long as you keep it standard... I would personally go for the anny... they look nice and are fairly rare. I never see the point in tuning the hell out of those engines with the MK4 golf 2 wheel drive set up, but each to their own.

Thanks for the replys, was ment to look at a anni today but the guy is wasting my time! ment to be a mature lady owner, but its a guy based in slough sourcing cars. no calls back nothing! stay clear! my brother has the standard one remapped by amd to 225bhp with koni suspension etc, handles the power really well. I would try to keep the anni standard just need to find the right one! thanks again

I would go for the anni - wish I had got one instead of standard GTI turbo - there aren't that many around.

so the bodykit, alloys, and 30bhp along with slight exclusivity makes it worth 2 or 3 times as much as a standard gti? personally i dont see its worth it. you could have an r32 for not much more.
