2003 Volkswagen Golf Gti 20th Anniversary Hatchback 2-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Like Mazda, Volkswagen used Chicago to unveil a special-edition model, the GTI 20th Anniversary Edition. Introduced in 1983 as the Rabbit GTI, VW's latest pocket-rocket pays homage to the original with numerous styling cues, including a polished-metal Rabbit logo with "GTI" red badge on rear hatch. Additional performance accents include black-surround headlights; a larger-diameter, single polished exhaust; darkened taillamps; side mirrors housed in black; and body-color bumper, chin spoiler, side valances, lowered rear bumper, and fixed rear spoiler above the hatch. A lowered sport suspension, 18-inch Z-rated summer performance tires, and larger, vented four-wheel disc brakes help the new GTI tackle the curves. Power comes from VW's ubiquitous 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine--good for 180 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque--which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The 20th Anniversary GTI's cockpit is a driver's paradise, with black-and-gray sport-cloth Recaro front seats wearing red "GTI" embroidery, black headliner, striped safety belts, the signature "golf ball" shift knob with red "GTI" logo, and a brushed-aluminum plaque that indicates the exact production number for the model, anywhere from 1 to 4000. This is number 3151. This special GTI comes to showrooms this spring (dated February 2003), priced at $23,225.
ADULT DRIVER. I purchased this GTI from Cherry Hill Volkswagen at 79,900 miles, February of 2009. I use it mainly for daily work commute (8 miles total) and some weekend getaways. I'm proud to say it's never been smoked in, and rarely eaten in. This car is an absolute BLAST to drive! Begrudgingly we need to part ways for something more family friendly. Clean title and CarFax. Standard Features: 1.8 liter turbo 4-cyclinder engine (180 hp, 173 lbs. ft. torque); 6-Spd manual transmission; power glass sunroof; ABS (4-Wheel); power windows and locks with remote keyless entry (2 remotes included); anti-theft alarm system; dual front air bags with side curtain protection airbag system; CFC-free air conditioning; power steering; tilt wheel; cruise control; rear-window electric defroster; rear-window wiper and washer The 2003 VW GTI 20th Anniversary Editions were limited to a 4,000-unit production run, of which only 2,000 are Black Magic Pearl.

The styling cues include red "GTI" badges and classic, polished-metal Rabbit logo, black surround on the headlights, and body colored chin spoiler, side valances, lower rear bumper valence, and hatch spoiler. The rear is accented with a larger-diameter, single polished exhaust and darkened taillamps. The interior features black and gray sport-cloth seating and a black headliner. The Recaro Sport seats have larger bolsters and red "GTI" embroidery.

Ecotricity offering 1,000 free EV miles to new customers
Thu, Feb 13 2014Ecotricity is offering electric vehicle drivers in the United Kingdom an lengthy incentive for using green energy: 1,000 miles of free fast charging per year. Called "Green Electricity + Car," the program will power customers' homes with renewable power allow them to charge their cars through Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers, which the company has named the Electric Highway. It makes complete sense for Ecotricity. "To get the greatest environmental benefit from an electric car, it needs to be charged using 100 percent green electricity from the wind and the sun – otherwise you're still powering it from dirty fossil fuels," wrote Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity. Ecotricity, a UK-based producer of green energy, wants to bring fast charging to 90 percent of highway service stations around the UK in the near future and four fast chargers are installed per week under the Electric Highway campaign, the company says. Users can fast charge their EVs in 20-to-30 minutes. Ecotricity recently instituted a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until April 1, reducing energy costs below what's being billed by the country's "Big Six" energy companies. Green Electricity + Car coincides with Volkswagen bringing its electric e-Up! to the British market. Volkswagen Group (UK) Limited imports VW, Audi, SEAT and Skoda brand vehicles and has signed a deal with Ecotricity as its official green energy supplier. Volkswagen Group customers purchasing an EV through one of its brands can take advantage of a new, reduced-cost Ecotricity tariff and a free smart meter installation. 08 February 2014 Green Electricity + Car Drivers of electric cars will receive 1,000 free miles every year with a new electricity tariff being launched by green energy company Ecotricity. Green Electricity + Car – will not only power customers homes with green energy but also their cars (either 100% electric or plug-in hybrids), plus they'll get free access to Ecotricity's national network of fast chargers[1] – the Electric Highway. This latest move comes after Ecotricity announced a price freeze for all gas and electricity customers until the end of winter (April 1st), making them cheaper[2] than the standard tariff of the Big Six energy companies.
VW Golf Sportsvan succeeds Golf Plus in Frankfurt
Sun, 08 Sep 2013
Just ahead of this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its Golf Sportsvan, a near-production concept that succeeds its Golf Plus. VW describes this compact family car as "one of the most versatile vehicles of the compact class," noting that it offers a mix of hatchback and minivan features in a sporty package.
That sportiness comes from the Sportsvan's styling (perhaps more sleek wagon than minivan) and performance features it shares with the Golf GTI - including the XDS+ electronic differential lock, which is integrated into the Electronic Stability Control system to improve agility. At the same time, the Sportsvan's six engine options, which include a turbodiesel, are up to 19-percent more fuel-efficient than their predecessors.
Volkswagen Golf R wagon promises to be fast and functional [w/poll]
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Volkswagen's array of performance-oriented Golfs keeps getting bigger and bigger. What started with the GTI has since grown to include the diesel GTD, the hybrid GTE and the most powerful Golf R. But the additions haven't all come down to powertain. There's been cabrio versions of the GTI and Golf R as well, but before all is said and done, there will be one more bodystyle to join the lineup.
That, according to these latest spy shots, would be the Golf R Variant. For those unfamiliar, Variant is what Volkswagen calls the wagon version of the Golf (in some markets, anyway). It offers the Golf Variant with a variety of engines, but as the spy shots reveal, it is now working on bringing the Golf Variant and the Golf R together into one high-powered, long-roofed model.
The VW Golf R Variant would in all likelihood pack the same 2.0-liter turbo four as the hatchback, splitting 290 horsepower between all four wheels. Only in the wagon, it would offer that extra bit of utility. Of course there's no guarantee that Volkswagen would offer the Golf R Variant in the North American market, but considering that the Golf R hatchback will soon be joined in American showrooms by the Golf SpotWagen (as it's tipped to be called here) in place for the Jetta wagon, the possibility is definitely there.
