I thought they did, wait, you mean for the 2002?
Re: no more 4 door golf 1.8t (RVs021.8T)

Yes, for 2002 the 1.8T is not availible in Golf's anymore

I think it has to do with most of the 1.8T engines being used in Passat's and GTI's, combined with a low demand for the 1.8T in Golfs. (most are 2.0's)....which leaves none for the Golf

From what I heard, it was biting into the GTI 1.8Ts sales as the Golf 1.8T was cheaper.

This is why my gf will more than likely buy something else. She wanted a Golf 1.8t pretty bad. Maybe used if we can find one. VWoA has their head up!!!!

The golf 1.8t started production in mid 2000 and stopped in mid 2001. I honsetly don't think VW stopped production because it was cutting into GTI sales.
I believe it's the exact opposite. The car DIDNT sell at all. Many didn't even know it existed. I didn't until I actually saw one in a dealership. I'm very happy with my car. Identical to the GTI , +2 doors and less of the extras i didnt want.
Price before taxes tags, title, etc etc... was 17.9 (with rims and sunroof) http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Its hard to sell something that you dont advertise.
Re: no more 4 door golf 1.8t (MRP2001GTi)

We have one, drove the GTI and really didn't see the point in spending $4k more to loose two doors and pay more on insurance. That plus now we have a rare car that's gonna be babied.

Re: no more 4 door golf 1.8t (Turbo Turd)

VW over-advertised the New Beetle and Jetta.
No one knows the GTI's and Golf's exist.
Which, I like in a way, when people see a GTI blur past, it's fun to hear "WTF WAS THAT?"

Re: no more 4 door golf 1.8t (Vagueie)

I think it's maybe due to the fact that the market for the Golf 4 doors don't call for performance. Customers in general in the market for a 4 doors Golf don't want to pay extra for performance, they are more interested in safety, practicality..., not performance and tuneability. JMHO
