The popularity of this generation VW Golf in Europe and Ukraine was stunning. More than 4 million pieces were released. Produced in six countries, on four continents. Of course, in most cases, our roads are driving golf, fitted from Europe. Although we officially sold the model in this generation. At the same time, the official fourth golfs were adapted for our operating conditions with a reinforced suspension and engine protection. When looking for spare parts of the chassis, there are such springs and shock absorbers, which are called - for cars with a "bad road package".
Body and salon.
The body of the golf is eternal, as the mechanics say. The metal is perfectly protected from corrosion, galvanized on both sides. Despite the years, you can find a car in very good condition. Externally, classic body forms, does not look outdated. Volkswagen always knew how to make cars that over the years did not obsudy outwardly, as it happens with cars from Asia.
The problems could meet with door locks (this is a common breakage of all cars built on common platform A4 or PQ34). Also, over time, some on-board equipment can also bring. The stove fan is buzzing first, and then just stops. Window doors refuse to ride the windows normally, and the windows control buttons on the driver's doors are often changed due to wear or water from entering water. Salon in golf, the fourth generation, is quite functional even today. Rear seats can be comfortably folded in a separate proportion. The places of passengers of the second row are quite abuse, and driving can be made a person of any complex. What to say, a benchmark for the landing and placement of passengers and cargo in its class, on which all competitors are equal at the beginning of two thousands.
Popular gasoline engines
Options power aggregates It was more than enough. Basic gasoline engine 1.4 16V (AHW, AXP, AKQ) is quite popular in Ukraine. The main problem of the motor is a weak and short-lived throttle.
Moreover, it is not amenable to repair, only replacement. The most popular motor - eight valve 1.6 (AEH / AKL). Reliable and tested by time the engine was still set at Skoda Octavia Tour. I did not surprise the power characteristics, but showed a good traction on the bottom. Motor is simple and reliable constructively. Common problems are a radiator cooling fan and fluid drift through the water pump laying. The next popular gasoline engine was two-liter with factory indices APK / AQY AZH / AZJ. Good engine. Of the main problems only the desire to constantly hide the oil. But this problem is well repair. Hot drivers can meet versions with a turbo engine, 1.8 L AGU, ARZ, AUM. This motor has already become legendary, thank my widespread all the lineup VAG ( Skoda Octavia. TOUR, SEAT LEON, AUDI A3) and good characteristics. Of the main weaknesses are the ignition coils and the ventilation system of crankcase gases, where the problem valve. Also, the phase management may require a replacement after 120-150 thousand km. Turbine, with normal oil and regular replacement of the air filter, lives without problems. But if, nevertheless, it's time to replace it (and on the basis of the age of the car, this is not rarely found), to buy a non-original good quality turbine for golf 4, it is quite possible. Among the gasoline engines were still options 2.3 VR5 2.8 VR6 3.2 R32 (VR6), but this is already a rarity.
Gearbox. That rare case when the machine is more reliable mechanics
The five-speed mechanics with the factory index DUU is the most problematic. If the first is tasked with the first, then this is the norm for this box. Mechanical box Not for a sporting ride. With an active drive, the differential rivet breaks and the carton crankcase is destroyed.
The machine is very rare for golf. Those who got a car with a four-stage automatic box are large lucky. This box is reliable and there is no problem with it. Only the oil should be changed in it every 60 thousand km.
Suspension. Are there weak points in the running?
Chassis Volkswagen Golf. Iv, according to the design, does not differ from competitors. Front of McPherson's rack, and behind the back - a simple semi-dependent beam. But how it all works. Ride this model is a pleasure. The car is perfectly controlled and perfectly holds the road. In general, if you use high-quality spare parts for repair, then problems with chassis system will not be. Constructive weak places There is no. As for the resource, for original spare parts He is this: the silent blocks of the front levers of 60-80 thousand km; Stabilizer racks 40-50 thousand km; The support bearings of the front racks - up to 40 thousand km.
Everything changes very easily, and there are no problems with service. As well as the steering rail, which longer than 150 thousand does not live, is restored without problems. Shock absorbers with "bad roads" package, tougher, but more lively than European analogues, better and install them.
Brakes reliable and durable
Golf 4 brake system will not create problems. There is only one spoon of the tar - stop signals. But this problem is kept and solved quickly. Brake discs and pads when replacing it will cost inexpensively, the change options are a huge set. Buying golf 4, be sure to check the performance manual brakes and the state of the brake hoses. The handbrake cable is stretched, and the hoses just have long come time to replace.
Results. Should I buy a used Volkswagen Golf 4?
If you are a German classic, then this option is for you. Here everything in German is thought out and withstand in the spirit of conservatism. Do not forget that many copies have already passed under 500 thousand km, and some have changed the second million, so many nodes and aggregates will definitely require substitutions. But if you managed to find a live copy, where the previous owner was a conscientious and neat motorist, then golf 4 will not create problems for a long time.
Volkswagen Golf has long been for the German concern iconic and leading model. After all, since 1974, the Germans sold over 25 million "golfikov", which means much. In addition, Golf is not easy to be one of the most popular and mass car, he is also the source of the class of the same name - "golf class". But the conversation is not about this, but about the VW Golf of the fourth generation in the body of the hatchback ... Why exactly? Yes, because it is really very good, that's all!
Volkswagen Golf 4 is a car with a classic, interesting and stylish design that is not outdated even after more than 10 years since the appearance. According to the truth, the universal model, because even now Golf IV looks at the city streets, and on the country track, and even on a light off-road (after all, there are Golfs with front or fully drive). Depending on taste and preferences, Volkswagen Golf IV can be three- or five-door hatchback, and for connoisseurs of practicality - a universal. But beyond the dependence of the body type, the fourth Golf is very good in all respects, and the whole galvanized body allowed to make the "German" assembly close to ideal, as in this way the designers were able to minimize the joints between the details.
The interior of the fourth generation Volkswagen Golf is now morally outdated, although there are no complaints to its ergonomics, practicality and functionality to this day. Dashboard It has a classic for Volkswagen views, it reads perfectly at any time, and its informative will give odds to many more modern models. The steering wheel is convenient and pleasant, but at the same time sufficiently massive. The central console without special sings, but everything you need on it placed: air conditioning and music, keys and buttons, other controls. The finish materials in the fourth golf are not the best, but they are high quality: on the basis of cute, pleasant to contact.
Volkswagen Golf 4, as a true "German" perfectly suitable for both the driver and passengers. It is convenient to sit in it, the front seats have a markedly expressed profile, well holding in the "saddle." The rear sofa accommodates three adults without difficulty, none of them will feel more than one. Well, everything is perfectly folded in the fourth Golf, and here the baggage compartment has tamed: the volume of 330 liters is too modest against the background of general impressions from the German car ... Although, if necessary, useful volume can be increased to 1185 liters. But, stop! There is a wagon that can offer a more spacious "body", with a volume of 460 to 1470 liters, depending on the position of the rear seat.
If the car is good, then it is in everything. So in plan technical characteristics Volkswagen Golf IV-generation has a wide range of power units, which can be said about without a branch of conscience: "Yes, you can get roaring!" In total, eight engines were asked for a choice: five gasoline, and three on heavy fuel. Power varies from 68 to 130 horse power. In the tandem, four transmissions could be installed to choose from: 5- or 6-speed mechanical, as well as 4- or 5 high-speed "automatic". Well, it is necessary to consider each of the power units.
Basic gasoline motor - 1.4-liter, 75-strong, complete with which only "mechanics" is available. Such a "fiery heart" is clearly poorly, because with him for a set of the first hundreds of golf requires "eternal" 15.6 seconds, although 171 km / h of maximum speed look decently. The next hierarchy is a 1.6 liter motor, the return of which is 102 horsepower. With it, as with the previous one, can be installed "mechanics", but the option is possible and a machine with 4-steps. 102-strong golf 4 with manual transmissia has good speakers: a hundred behind after 11.9 seconds, the limit of the possibility of 188 km / h. The hatchback with the "automatic" in the acceleration is slower on exactly 1 second, and in general - 3 km / h. At the same time, such Golf will definitely call the leader in economy: in mixed cycle It eats 7 or 8 liters of fuel, depending on the transmission.
105-strong unit of the same volume as the previous one - the next list. Although he has an increase in 3 forces, but she does not decide here, except that maximum speed 4 km / h above, while the remaining indicators are similar.
Motor, 1.6 liter and advancement of 110 horsepower - another representative of the Volkswagen Golf fourth generation. A pair of him is only mechanical transmission Five speeds. The dynamic indicators of the engine are improved for the better, but not significantly - by 0.2 seconds, a set of hundreds occurs, rather than in the previous, and the maximum speed is 194 km / h. For 100 km of the way such an aggregate you need only 6.5 liters of fuel when moving in a mixed cycle.
The most powerful and volumetric in the camp of gasoline - 2.0-liter, the power potential of which is 116 "horses". With this "Golf Heart" included both 4-speed automatic and 5-speed mechanical transmissions. The first exchanges 100 km / h in 12.4 seconds and extremely dials 190, the second - for 1 second and 5 km / h faster.
All, gasoline engines are over, now the turn of three diesel units. The weakest among the diesel engines and among the entire power line is a 68-strong motor, a volume of 1.9 liters (by the way, all on this form of fuel have a given volume). Yes, despite the decent volume, the characteristics of the dynamics of such a golf just terrifying - for 18.7 seconds, which he needs to overclock up to hundreds, you can make a bunch of all useful. Yes, and the maximum speed here brings tears - just 160 km / h. But the speaker is compensated for by efficiency: in a mixed cycle, 68-strong, diesel Golf requires only 5.2 liters of combustible mixture. For this motor, only 5-speed "mechanics" and nothing except.
The next in line is a diesel motor endowed with 100 forces. 6-speed mechanical transmission or automatic with 5 transmissions are completed with it. The dynamics is not impressive with him, but it is worth noting that it is 5 seconds faster than less weak.
Well, finally, the last and most powerful power unit - diesel having 130 horsepower. Types of transmissions are similar to the previous engine. Yes, with such a "fiery heart" VW Golf 4 looks like a dynamic and pretty smart car - 100 km / h are conquered after 10.5 or 11.4 seconds, depending on the gearbox, well, the maximum speed here excels 200 km / h Fuh, that's all, with the engines finished!
It is logical that it is impossible to say for sure how much it costs today new Volkswagen. Golf Fourth Generation, because his release is over 9 years ago. But fact on secondary market This "fruit" is presented very widely. Golf 4 in good technical condition You can buy at about 180-200 thousand rubles at about 180-200 thousand, but for an instance in perfect condition, you may have to lay out about 400-500 thousand Russian rubles. So, for a good, German car, even 10 years of age should be discarded!

The Volkswagen Concern is an interesting development strategy - just look at the history of Volkswagengolf or Passat. The first generation is a revolution. Second - work on errors. The third is grinding and polishing. Fourth, fifth, sixth generation - restyling predecessors.
Volkswagengolfiv 1997 - 2003 V. It is like that, it is rather upgrading the previous generation than the debut fundamentally new.
Brief introductory
The number of modifications VW Golf IV is capable of entering a potential buyer in a stupus - the choice is great. Three- and five-door hatchbacks ("hot" and not very), a Variant wagon, Jetta and Bora sedans, a convertible ... Choose - I do not want.
Already in the initial version of the GOLF configuration, it is well equipped with a minimum of two airbags, ABS (since the end of 1999 - and ESP, inflatable curtains from mid-2002), central locking, electric car, adjustable in height steering column.
Body and electrical equipment
Anticorrosion durability of the VW Golf IV body is very high: this is evidenced by the 12-year-old factory guarantee from through corrosion (and 3 years - on the paintwork), and the fact that even cars are not one winter away from our roads carry traces of rust only in one case - if the car visited the accident and was poorly renovated. Cars of the first years of release have complaints on the assembly: water is often getting into the salon, the problem is solved by adjusting the position of the door or replacement of seals. The reliability of electrical equipment is also not the most strong side Golf: There are no uncommon cases of immobilizer failure, fuel level sensor, power windows and other electronic machinery.
Engines and transmissions
Volkswagen Golf IV Motors Line One of the biggest in its class. The choice is offered twelve gasoline and seven diesel engines. In our market, diesel modifications are used in sustained demand, and among gasoline versions, the overwhelming number of proposals accounts for 1.4 16V (75 hp) and 1,6-liter modifications (101, 105, 110 hp). Eight-flaped engines are considered the most unpretentious and reliable: according to experts, these motors with timely service without repair overcome the bar in 300-400 thousand km of run. However, these power units have their drawbacks - for example, instances of the first anniversary of the release observed the difficult launch of the car in the winter.
Twenty-fledged 1.8-liter motors The list of disadvantages is longer: they are sensitive to the quality of fuel and oil, despite the compliance with the regulations, there are cases of premature breakdown of the timing belt, the chain tensioner connecting the camshafts rarely is more than 200 thousand km. The turbine versions of the engine of 1.8 liters are considered more reliable, however, it is difficult to find an instance with a "live" turbine, and the cost of repair or replacement is able to completely kill the love of cars with the Turbo magic nameplate.
Mansion cost powerful versions Golf with five-cylinder (2.3 l) and six-cylinder (2.8 and 3.2 liters) motors. They have a timing chain drive, the resource of which is about 200 thousand km, so they require only oil replacement and filters. In terms of reliability, these are no complaints, but the repair of these aggregates is expensive.
In order for the Golf to serve as faithfully for many years, several elementary rules must be observed: motor oil and the filter needs to be changed every 15 thousand, air filter And the spark plugs - after 60 thousand, and the timing belt (along with the tension and irrigation roller) - every 90 thousand km of mileage.
All diesel engines Golf. IV - 1.9 liters, with direct injection Fuel. This generation of VW diesel engines is considered to be one of the best in the world, but here also have its own subtleties of service and operation. For these aggregates, the Bosch EDC fuel pump responded to 2000, then new diesel engines with pump-nozzles appeared. Reliability and durability is preferable diesel versions With pumps-nozzles, but the cost of repair of these engines can be called astronomical: one nozzle is worth not less than 650 cu (and all of them 4). From faults inherent diesel engines, it is possible to note the failure of the Bosch air flow sensors (mainly due to late air filter shift).
The mechanical 5- and 6-speeds were installed on the GOLF IV family mechanical PPCNaturally, almost all modifications could be aggregated and "automata". MCPP are considered less reliable than automatic boxes: Cases of the release of "mechanics" are out of order after 200 thousand km of run.
But there are no complaints to "automata". They are considered maintenance-free, but experts advise you to change the oil in the "automatic" after 60,000 km of run or every three years.
Suspension I. brake system
The Golf IV suspension (ahead of McPherson, from the back semi-dependent H-shaped beam) is one of the main advantages of the model. Differs high reliability and maintainability. Resource of the pendant parts average: Stabilizer racks and bushings transverse stability require replacement every 40-50 thousand km, shock absorbers, ball supports, steering thrust, hub bearings Look at 80-100 thousand km. And another 100-120 thousand km can start tapping and tear the steering rack. Cases of failure of the hydraulic pot pump are noted.
The main problems of the brake system - over time, the ABS sensors fail, zerify the sealing washers on the brake hoses. The first brake pads are wearing 20-40 thousand km, the rear - to 70-80 thousand km of mileage. Brake fluid It is necessary to change every 40,000 km of run or every two years.
Let's summarize
Many are mistaken, considering that VW Golf is a role model in its class.
Volkswagen Golf IV 1997 - 2003 It clearly does not reach the status of the standard, this is evidenced by its shortcomings and the reliability rating of TUV. However, the popularity of the fourth generation is not subject to any doubt, which means that buyers are willing to pay for a loud name, reputation, and those advantages that Golf Ivzat.

Along with the legendary Passat B5, Volkswagen Golf IV is considered one of the most successful and popular concern models in the secondary market of Belarus. Compact dimensions and cheap service - the secret of such success.
Production model has become back in 1997. Despite the similarity with Golf III, Golf 4 is a separate independent model, built on a new A4 platform. The same platform is considered independent car Based on F4. On the same platform, the concern produced Skoda Octavia, Audi 3, Seat Leon and other cars.
The VW Golf IV family is large. The fourth itself was offered in the body of a hatchback with 3 or 5 doors. Later, the Golf Variant wagon and the Bora sedan (in America Jetta) appeared with other body lines. But Golf Cabrio is essentially the third golf decorated as the fourth.
Body and electronics
Hatchback dimensions make it easy to park and maneuver in the city. Overshadows picture except low front bumper - You have to be cautable with parking.
Body VW Golf IV galvanized and have 12 years warranty from end-to-end corrosion. All elements are fitted accurately and neat. The owners say that even after 1-2 winters in those areas where the chips of the paints got to the metal, the rust may not arise. So floating gaps and corrosion on the version of the used golf - a sign poor repairs After an accident.
Already in the database, the manufacturer offered two airbags, ABS, power windows, seat belts with pretensioners. After 1999, the ESP coursework system was also available for ordering, which, together with side and window Airbeks, made the fourth golf leader in terms of security in its class.
Three additional packages - Highline, Trendline and ComfortLine - allowed to expand the fourth golf options. Among them are rain and light sensors, navigation system, air conditioning, climate control.
Noise insulation of the Salon Exemplary will not call, for the rear passengers a trip along the track can also be discomforted and by virtue of a low landing. But on the rear seats are not two, but three passengers, the seats themselves are rigid and with side support.
The driver's and front passenger seat is adjustable in height, and the steering wheel - height and departure, and comfortably lies in the hands. The dashboard of the fourth golf is the triumph of ergonomics and asceticism. Controls - at hand drivers, but do not interfere with him. In the cabin there are many places and compartments for storing small things. The volume of the trunk is 330 liters, under the rug - spare parts and repair kit. Rear seats fold, increasing the space of the trunk is twice.
As for the electronics, often in the fourth golf failures the rear wiper - it hits its mechanism. The same can comprehend the front. The solution is to replace the details, the lubricant helps only for a while. It can also fail the stop signal switch.
Engines
Basic among gasoline Motor 1.4 with a capacity of 75 hp It was aggregated only by "mechanics". Owners are unanimous: the capacity of this motor golf is clearly not enough, and the need to constantly spin the motor for satisfactory dynamics is not the best reflected on its resource. From typical sores - the ventilation system is clogged with crankcase gases, and the mass supply leads to premature wear of the piston rings.
The following in the line of gasoline engines is the popular and most successful 8-valve 1.6-liter 100-strong and 16-valve 105-strong aggregates with a distributed fuel injection. Good speaker, modest fuel consumption and resource of 300 thousand miles of mileage without serious interventions - the secret of their popularity. The main thing is to prevent overheating and every 90 thousand km to change the oil.
The disadvantages of these motors include antifreeze leaks from the cooling system through thermostat and cracked plastic nozzles, as well as faults throttle valve and ignition coils.
With the same 1,6-liter volume, the FSI engine was produced with a capacity of 110 hp. With immediate injection. But for these motors of character problem with fuel system And the formation of a car in the head of the cylinder block, which is directly related to the quality of fuel - after all, the manufacturer recommends 98 gasoline.
A gasoline 1.8-liter motor is presented in two versions. Atmospheric with a capacity of 125 hp and turbocharged 150 and 180 hp Depending on the modification. The atmospheric boasts excellent dynamics, especially in combination with MCPP. The turbocharged versions accelerate the fourth golf to "hundreds" for 8 more than a second second, but when the turbine is out of order, the cost of its replacement is unreasonably high. Yes, and the nuances of operation and maintenance, the turbocharged golf will require more.
Two-liter 115-strong petrol aggregate Unpretentious and reliable, but it is worth remembering the replacement of the timing belt and pump every 90 thousand km of run. Food and expensive V5 2,3 (150 hp), VR5 2.3 (170 hp), V6 2.8 (204 hp) and VR6 3,2 (240 hp) Unpopular on the market due to the cost of their maintenance.
As for diesel engines VW GOLF IV, they all had a volume of 1.9 liters. The weak SDI developed 68 "horses", and the turbine versions of TDI have already been driving noticeably cheerful: 90, 101, 110, 115, 130 and 150 hp Under the hood, depending on the modification.
A weak place of diesel 1.9 TDI (90 and 110 hp) - TNVD, which is expensive to repair when large runs. Even more expensive in service, with all its advantages in terms of power and economical fuel consumption - 1, 9 TDI with pumps-nozzles (115, 1100, 130 and 150 hp, depending on the version). Of the general drawbacks of diesel engines until 2001, a fault of the flow meter can be noted.
Transmission
For the fourth golf, there were 5- and 6-speed MCPPs, as well as 4- and 5-speed "automata" with the manual switching function. There are no complaints and other owners.
The problem of a breaking lever of switching in the "mechanics" owners solve the replacement of the switching mechanism. The 1,6-liter engines with the manual transaction is the problem: the inclusion of the first transmission is difficult. Recommendations for the extension of the resource - change the oil in the transmission every 90 thousand km of mileage. In general, the box serves 120-200 thousand km. before repair.

Along with legendaryPassat B5, VW Golf IV It is considered one of the most successful and popular models of the concern in the secondary market of Belarus. Compact dimensions and cheap service - the secret of such success.
Production model has become back in 1997. Despite the similarities withGolf III , Golf 4 is a separate independent model built on a new A4 platform. The same platform is considered an independent car based on F4. On the same platform, the concern releasedSkoda Octavia, Audi 3, SEAT LEON And other cars.
Family VW Golf IV large. The fourth itself was offered in the body of a hatchback with 3 or 5 doors. Later, universal appearedGolf Variant and Sedan Bora (in America Jetta _ with other body lines. And hereGolf Cabrio. in fact, the third golf decorated as the fourth.
Hatchback dimensions make it easy to park and maneuver in the city. Dars the picture except that low front bumper - you have to be cautious with parking.
Body VW Golf IV galvanized and have 12 years warranty from end-to-end corrosion. All elements are fitted accurately and neat. The owners say that even after 1-2 winters in those areas where the chips of the paints got to the metal, the rust may not arise. So floating clearances and corrosion on the version of the used golf - a sign of poor repair after an accident.
Already in the database, the manufacturer offered two airbags,ABS , power windows, seat belts with pretensioners. After 1999, the ESP coursework system was also available for ordering, which, together with side and window Airbeks, made the fourth golf leader in terms of security in its class.
Three additional packages - Highline, Trendline and ComfortLine - allowed to expand the fourth golf options. Among them are rain and light sensors, navigation system, air conditioning, climate control.
Noise insulation of the Salon Exemplary will not call, for the rear passengers a trip along the track can also be discomforted and by virtue of a low landing. But on the rear seats are not two, but three passengers, the seats themselves are rigid and with side support. The driver's and front passenger seat is adjustable in height, and the steering wheel - height and departure, and comfortably lies in the hands. The dashboard of the fourth golf is the triumph of ergonomics and asceticism. Controls - at hand drivers, but do not interfere with him. In the cabin there are many places and compartments for storing small things. The volume of the trunk is 330 liters, under the rug - spare parts and repair kit. The rear seats are folded, increasing the space of the trunk.
As for the electronics, often in the fourth golf failures the rear wiper - it hits its mechanism. The same can comprehend the front. The solution is to replace the details, the lubricant helps only for a while. It can also fail the stop signal switch.
Engines
Basic among gasoline became the engine 1.4 with a capacity of 75 hp. It was aggregated only by "mechanics". Owners are unanimous: the capacity of this motor golf is clearly not enough, and the need to constantly spin the motor for satisfactory dynamics is not the best reflected on its resource. From typical sores - the ventilation system is clogged with crankcase gases, and the mass supply leads to premature wear of the piston rings.
The following in the line of gasoline engines is the popular and most successful 8-valve 1.6-liter 100-strong and 16-valve 105-strong aggregates with a distributed fuel injection. Good speaker, modest fuel consumption and resource of 300 thousand miles of mileage without serious interventions - the secret of their popularity. The main thing is to prevent overheating and every 90 thousand km to change the oil.
The disadvantages of these motors include leakage of antifreeze from the cooling system through thermostat and cracked plastic nozzles, as well as throttle faults and ignition coils.
With the same 1.6-liter volume and engineFSI power 110 hp With immediate injection. But for these motors of character, the problem with the fuel system and the formation of a car in the head of the cylinder block, which is directly related to the quality of the fuel - after all, the manufacturer recommends 98 gasoline.
A gasoline 1.8-liter motor is presented in two versions. Atmospheric with a capacity of 125 hp and turbocharged 150 and 180 hp Depending on the modification. The atmospheric boasts excellent dynamics, especially in combination with MCPP. The turbocharged versions accelerate the fourth golf to "hundreds" for 8 more than a second second, but when the turbine is out of order, the cost of its replacement is unreasonably high. Yes, and the nuances of operation and maintenance, the turbocharged golf will require more.
A two-liter 115-strong gasoline unit is unpretentious and reliable, but it is worth remembering the replacement of the timing belt and pump every 90 thousand km of mileage. Food and expensive V5 2,3 (150 hp), VR5 2.3 (170 hp), V6 2.8 (204 hp) and VR6 3,2 (240 hp) Unpopular on the market due to the cost of their maintenance.
