This 2001 Volkswagen Golf 4Motion is a rare and increasingly sought-after example of the Mk4 platform, finished in LC9Z Black over a grey leather interior. Showing 101,409 miles, this three-door model paired with the desirable 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and a 6-speed manual transmission makes for a uniquely engaging and capable hot hatch with understated appeal.
At its heart is the 2.8-liter VR6 engine, delivering the smooth power and distinctive sound that have made these cars a favorite among enthusiasts. The combination of the VR6, manual gearbox, and 4Motion drivetrain results in a confident, all-weather driving experience that sets this Golf apart from more common front-wheel-drive variants. The car runs and drives exactly as it should and has recently benefited from a full oil and filter service, along with an air conditioning recharge—now blowing ice cold.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in full grey leather Recaro seats, offering both comfort and support, complemented by factory wood trim accents that give the interior a more premium feel. The interior overall presents very cleanly for its age, though there are a few noted imperfections: the driver’s carpet has a tear beneath the mat from prior use without protection, and the interior mirror glass has begun to bleed and would benefit from replacement.
The exterior presents well overall, especially considering the car’s age, though it does show some honest wear. The most notable areas include rust on the boot handle, which would ideally be replaced, and a previously repaired section on the front passenger-side sill beneath the wing that could benefit from further attention. Outside of these items, the body remains solid and presentable, with only minor marks consistent with use.
