Used 2004 Volkswagen Golf

Buying Guide for the Volkswagen Golf:

The 2004 Volkswagen Golf is roughly parallel in equipment to the Jetta. However, while the Jetta comes in sedan and wagon body styles, the Golf is offered as a two-door and four-door hatchback.

As such, the Golf is perhaps a little more on the sporty side than its Jetta siblings. However, both come in a wide array of trims, with several different power levels available. The Golf alone can be had in four models, and that’s not including the GTI (covered separately).

Though there aren’t too many changes to the Golf for 2004, there is one new option that adds an even greater level of security. It is the OnStar assistance system, designed to keep you covered at all times.

Under the Hood

With base GL models, the Golf is fitted with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine. It is able to muster 115 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 122 lb-ft of torque at 2600 rpm. 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions are offered.

The other engine powering 2004 Golfs is a 1.9-liter turbodiesel inline 4-cylinder engine. It delivers 100 horsepower at 4000 rpm and 177 lb-ft of torque at 1800 rpm.

Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering translates into a precise, responsive feel at you fingertips.  Independent front and rear suspension components dampen the rough stuff on the road.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

Safety is one area that Volkswagen is known to take very seriously. The Golf is a typical Volkswagen in this respect. All models have at least dual front airbags, front side airbags, curtain side airbags and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. An antiskid system is optional for 2004.

The Golf is also fairly well equipped in terms of comfort features. This makes even long rides quite easy to handle. Some of the things you’ll find include air conditioning, cruise control, height-adjustable front bucket seats, a center console, heated power mirrors, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM/cassette/CD player.

Golf models aren’t as popular as the Jetta duo, but they certainly aren’t lonely. They can be found in all parts of the country. For northern climates, Volkswagen offers a Cold Weather Package. It includes heated front seats and washer jets. Anyone who’s ever experienced the frustration of dealing with frozen washers while driving down the road will appreciate this option.
