Description

This 1996 Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GTI offers an engaging, analogue driving experience with a lively 2.0-litre engine and precise manual gearbox. Light steering and a compact hatch chassis make it enjoyable on country lanes and city streets alike, delivering a connected feel that modern cars rarely replicate.
Practical yet characterful, the three-door layout suits daily use while remaining a true enthusiast’s car. Finished in Mystic Blue with remarkably low mileage and a documented ownership history, it presents a confident blend of usability and classic appeal for drivers looking for a spirited, usable classic.
