Volkswagen Golf GLI

Info

Why should you buy a VW Golf GLI

The Golf GLI has a kind of no-nonsense charm that makes everything else feel overthought. It skips complex curves and flair, focusing instead on being quick, practical, and just a little cheeky. The steering is tight and direct, and the engine responds eagerly when pushed.

This is a sensible performance car with a quiet double life, school runs during the week, spirited drives on the weekend. Its performance is discreet, its character balanced, and above all, it’s genuinely fun.

Why should you buy this VW Golf GLI

The car presents in overall good condition with only minor signs of wear, just enough to remind you it’s authentic and original. The light blue GLI was originally delivered in Italy and survived so well because of the good climate and care of the former owners.

With just 120,000 kilometers on the clock, it’s been driven enough to stay healthy, but not enough to lose its edge. The stunning and rare color combination just stands out. The light blue exterior and grey interior with a hint of blue is lovely.

The last MOT is valid until 30/06/2027 and shows no remarks on the state of the car, a perfect score for a car that is about 43 years old.

Why is this VW Golf GLI in our range

This is the fourth time we have a GLI on offer, so it is safe to say we have a genuine soft spot for this car. It’s one of those cars that just sticks with you. On top of that, it represents the iconic spirit of the VW Golf GTI, but with the added appeal of being a cabrio. That combination alone makes it stand out. This particular example is even more special thanks to its low mileage and its attractive color combination, making it a rare find.

It’s a piece of hot hatch history, the original formula that defined the segment, combined with open-top driving which makes it hard to resist.
