2006 Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 TFSI Manual Hatchback

Description

I’m selling my 2006 VW Golf GTI — the one I’ve had since new, and honestly, it’s been a joy to drive. It’s a 2.0L TFSI engine with 198 bhp, so it doesn’t just keep up with traffic — it actually gets ahead of it. From 0 to 62 in under 7.2 seconds, it’s not flashy, but it’s got that classic GTI punch you get when you’re in the driver’s seat.

I’ve kept it well-maintained, and it’s had full service work done, including a new cambelt — so it’s reliable and runs smoothly. The interior is solid: leather-trimmed steering wheel with the GTI logo, heated and adjustable mirrors, and all the comfort bits you’d expect. There’s 10-speaker audio, a CD player, and even a 12V socket in the boot — useful if you’re doing long drives or just need a charge.

The alloy wheels are 7.5J x 17 Monza, 225/45 R17 tyres, and they look sharp. I’ve got the sports suspension lowered about 15mm, which makes it feel more responsive, especially on twisty bits. It’s not just about looks — it’s about how it handles.

Safety features are solid too: ABS with HBA, ESP, airbags all around, side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, and even a dusk sensor and auto driving lights. The rear seats fold easily, and there’s Isofix for kids — handy if you’re ever driving with little ones.

I’ve also kept the original interior cloth, which still looks decent, and the honeycomb front air intake and unique bumpers give it that classic GTI character. The windows are electric, the mirrors are heated, and it even has a flat tyre indicator.

It’s been parked at my place on Station Road in west-calder, so it’s easy to get to. I’ve had it checked out by a local mechanic, and it’s been running well for years — I’ve never needed to do major repairs.

I’ve kept it in great shape, and it’s not just a car — it’s been a part of my life. I’m not selling it because I need the cash, but because I’ve finally found a better fit for my lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a reliable, spirited, and well-maintained Golf that’s ready to drive — this one’s for you. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest.

Let me know if you’d like to see it — I’m happy to take you out for a spin. No hidden fees, no pressure, just a real car, real story.

(Price is £4,500 — but I’ll keep that quiet for now. 😊)
