You bought a Golf GTI that had 193.000 km on it and it still drove for 5 years?

Youd be surprised how many shit boxes can last to 300k miles with minimal repair.

I've only had it for about a year but I have put a ton of miles on it and I haven't had any real issues with it. It's the base model gti though so no sun roof nonsense and it has a normal ass key instead of one of those dumb ass fobs.

I had a few Mk4 ones before I bought the one I have now. They were tons of fun and relatively easy to work on. They always seemed to have vacuum issues but once those werecl cleared up they were fun cars that got decent mpg
