This is a GLX model with heated leather seats, and wood grain trim. I bought this car in 2012 to replace my daily driver B4. At the time it had a failed Automatic transmission. I replaced it with a good working auto from there and since then have replaced that transmission with a 6 speed imported from the UK. Car had a timing belt failure and the head and Balance shaft were replaced by the previous owner. I have a mk6 Golf now and I just don't drive this car and would like to pass it on for someone else to enjoy. It is a great car to drive, smooth, big, comfy. The manual trans definitely breathed new life into the car. Currently just under 219,000 miles. In town mpg can range from 32-35. Highway is 40-45 depending on speed of course. I tend to have a heavy foot.
