In this video we take a deep dive into the full Mk4 range, from the humble 1.6 through to the now iconic R32, to find out if these iconic Germans are still worth your money in today's used market. Whether you're looking at a sensible 1.8T, a point-and-shoot GTI, or you've got your eyes set on the crown jewel of the range, the 3.2-litre VR6-powered R32, we've got you covered. The Mk4 was the Golf that really grew up, bringing a more premium feel to the hatch world, and the R32 in particular took that to a whole new level with its Haldex all-wheel drive and one of the best intake and exhaust notes you'll ever hear on a road car. We cover everything you need to know before buying, a full walkaround of exterior issues, interior quality, how the different models drive, what separates the R32 from the rest of the pack, common issues to watch out for across the range, and whether the Mk4 Golf still represents good value in today's used market.
