I had both mk3 vr6and mk4 tdi.
They were good.
My needs have dictated some other vehicles, but I'm always looking out for them.

Nice, they’re so awesome. I sold that car for what I bought it for after stacking 80k on it.
I needed something with AWD so I got a gen 2 Touareg TDI and like it a lot. Had it for a year no problems, fun to drive, rips off road and in the snow. But I miss my 5 speed TDI mk4.
My dream is to buy an MK4 R32 and swap in a built out BEW or ALH TDI motor…
Sounds like a reasonable bucket list project.
TDI, all wheel drive would be a lot of fun.
I like that idea.
Six speed. Better suspension and brakes. Awd. It’s the dream.
It would take a fair amount of time, but with a well laid out parts list, it would be quite possible to build one just starting with a base golf.
(Engine/drivetrain/suspension swaps are one of the things I do)
Starting with an r32 would make us significantly simpler, however.
