I could never recommend that car as a reliable daily driver. I had a 99 Jetta MKIII. (Same engine and tranny as the golf you are looking at). Not only is the car slower then mud (1/4 in the 17s) but for me it was the biggest POS. I went through three transmissions in 60k miles. The shift linkage broke at 60k. The windows worked when they wanted. The rear passenger door stopped latching at about 55k miles Little shit broke alot. It just plain sucked. To top it all off, i only got $3k on trade over a year ago with only 60k miles on it. So, DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!
