Still got my 97 plate, mulberry. Just over 200k miles on it. Getting the headliner and exhaust manifold replaced and bit of bodywork for rust. Goes like a rocket
ive owned my 93 windsor blue for over 20 years now. They were sophisticated in period and had real class. Subtle, refined and as smooth as silk, what volkswagen did so well once upon a time, i dont think ill ever sell mine 👍❤
Had a 1995 Vr6 (2001-2011) I remember driving flat out in it windows down and the sound of the sweet motor good times. I love all the cars I've every owned, A car to me is a sanctuary, It's a place to unwind and escape.
I sometimes wonder why VW doesn’t make the VR5 or VR6 engines anymore, they were clearly a hit. If they brought them back for the next Golf R they’d be hot af
Emissions is the killer! As Euro emission regulations tightened, car manufacturers have had to down size on cc and revert in most cases to turbo charging to gain similar performance. That was the killer for the VR6
I had a deep metallic blue 5 door VR6 1995 model. I owned it in the late 90's and loved it. The V6 Engine was amazing and the subtle styling was cool. I traded it for 3.0L Alfa 166. Nowadays I drive a diesel....not everything in life is progress....
LoL - my wife and I had some great cars in the 90’s ourselves, Escort RS Turbo, Astra GTE, Impreza Turbo, Celica GT4 and then with family commitments swapped them for diesels and 1.0 litre city cars .........but fortunately the cycle has returned once again to some tasty sports cars. Hold in there and I’m sure that the good days will return 👍🏻
I've got the 90hp premium unleaded 1.8 CL from 1997, and even that one is so much fun to drive and has great low torque but also really builds up around 4-5k rpm
I’ve had my VR6 10 years now, and I can’t bear to get rid of it! I’m slowly getting it back up to scratch. We don’t really have to deal with rust on cars like this here in Australia, but there were only ever about 730 brought in to the country and a lot have been crashed or thrashed so there aren’t too many around now.
Tbf here in the UK you really don’t see many around. This particular car is my sons. It needs a little TLC but largely good and just love the fact you’re driving around in a 2.8 VR6 engine in a golf! Opposite of what is happening now (cars getting bigger, engines getting smaller!) 👍🏻
@@FastandFun It looks like quite a nice example, and still reasonably stock. I’ve seen so many videos on here where people just ruin the cars, so I’m not surprised there aren’t too many around. Yeah it’s great having an NA V6 in a relatively small hatch! People out here joke that all the MK3 is only good as a parts car, but I like the whole thing 🙂
Everyone remembers the VR6 absolute beast car. They will always hold a soft spot in my heart absolutely love these and anyone who says otherwise well.... Fuck em 😂
I'm getting my 3dr vr6 on the road ASAP. Saved it from the scrap pile. I can't wait. Needs a lot of work, and I haven't even got it out of 1st gear. Fingers crossed.
The subtle looks u talk about were very intentional.The VR6 was originally designed to be a sleeper..check out the original vr6 golf ad with the beetle race in it.classic advert. Glad u enjoyed this car.🙂
Got a 5dr Vr6 in mauve ultraviolet and all the points u’ve made are the reasons y I’ve had it just shy of 10 years. (9.5 years have been of it stood on the drive but when u become a dad human baby becomes more important than your petrol one lol) but it’s comin back soon father/sonS project hopefully video of revival coming soon. But despite many many offers over the years to sell I’ve kept it because I know it will only appreciate in value. The mk3 vr6 will be going into the history books it was the pioneer of big engine/small car. Will b handing the keys over to my son when he hits 18 (inshallah)..... here’s ur 6 figure car son happy birthday 😉. He’s 8 now and already mega gassed about it coming back; everyday: “dad when’s my vr6 getting bk on the Road?). I intend to surprise him on his 9th birthday with it restored and road ready.
I totally agree, nothing is like it! I am new to knowing about this car. My father introduced me an I am in love! I wish I can have one in the future. What Price do they go for?
I have a 96’ golf vr6 best car I’ve had but really hard to get parts in the middle of the us not gonna lie I think it’s funny when people come up and they think it’s a 2.0, 1.9 or 1.8 then they see vr6 and they all of a sudden love it 😂
Mortyr Does I agree - if I can manage to get the keys again I’m going to do another video and promise that I’ll open up the bonnet to see the VR6 beast 👌
Hi, thank you. Yeah, it’s a great car and the manuals are really quite rare now. The cars not mine though. . It’s my step-son’s and he’s currently undecided whether to keep or sell. If he decides to sell, I’ll drop you a message on here before he advertises. Thanks for the comment.
Good review and great car. My mate actually owned this before yourself. If you think of selling it I’d be interested as I’m local to you. Drop me a message. Thanks
My Syncro has a planed head , and is E85 converted . Running only on ethanol , in thesummer . the standard 197Hp increases to 220Hp , but less mileage (km per liter ) ...won't take it over 200kph as I need to change the front coilovers ....otherwise it's good for 250kph ....

Fantastic review! I totally relate 100%! I absolutely love my 95 mk3 VR6. I'm proud to have one and never ever get bored of the tone it produces!!

Pretty sure the mystery notch on the b-pillar is for the US model auto-seatbelt mech. Nice vid!

Nice to see my old VR and did a lot of work to it chains etc no expense spared 👌👌
Fantastic broe you nailed it

I bought a VR6 syncro last year.
My dream car from when i Just got my driver license.
Ik love the sound.

I have a 1995 manual VR6 Colourconcept on the lawn (covered), I really really need to get it on the road.
Very rare cars now, especially the manuals 👍🏻
Hello mate how Mitch do you think you can get for Volkswagen Golf vr6 1993 and manual gearbox?
Very much dependable on condition but c. £6k region
I totally agree, nothing is like it! I am new to knowing about this car. My father introduced me an I am in love! I wish I can have one in the future. What Price do they go for?
Values are very much based on condition, but they are getting rarer especially the manuals. +£5k
You should try and buy one soon because in a few years they will be worth a lot of money
I've just bought a black highline vr6 mk3 done 720milez in it in 3 weeks ish
Sounds like the best of both worlds family car sports car I love mine Cabrio without the family I turn it loose

@@gpubenchmarks7905 Yes I still have it I've had it for 18 year's it's polished to death & driven hard & it always makes me smile 😊
what is the name of the escape?
???
Which Exhaust?
I’m sorry but I don’t know
Hi did anyone answer or happen to know the answer to the question about the recess at 2:46? Only just noticed this on my Mk3 too!
No, nobody has answered that. Any idea?
No clue I’ve been trying to find info online but failing!
@@ryanperry8367 if you find out would really appreciate a comment to let everyone know. Thanks 👍🏻
It’s where the seatbelt mech on the US spec sits I believe. I found a v similar photo whilst doing some Corrado seatbelt research
What color is that?
Fiery red
Looking very fine!How’s the fuel consumption?
This isn’t my car (it’s my step-sons). I’m not sure on mpg, but he only does low mileage as it’s a second (weekend) car, so less important to him.
When I bought mine and drove it back on motorway it was 18mpg lol 😆
@@craighughes4023 oh wow
Brilliant cars but you just don't see them any more, are you planning on tidying it up
It’s not mine Dean unfortunately. But I was really impressed how it drove. It’s my step sons car and I think he’s planning on selling soon.
@@FastandFun : D You better buy it :P l want more videos like this :)))
@@FastandFun you should open the hood of golf
Mortyr Does I did think about it but my step sons still not decided whether to sell or not yet. And I’ve ended up buying a RS Clio 182 Cup instead.
Mortyr Does I agree - if I can manage to get the keys again I’m going to do another video and promise that I’ll open up the bonnet to see the VR6 beast 👌

You’ve sold me the car
What colour is this (please don't say 'red')?
It was called “Fire Red” I think
I like it. Never seen one in this colour. They did many unusual colour, which is great I think. Mine's satin silver. Would love it in fire red.
Good review and great car. My mate actually owned this before yourself. If you think of selling it I’d be interested as I’m local to you. Drop me a message. Thanks
It’s not mine it’s actually my step sons car and he is thinking of selling.
Richard Dobie okay buddy. Could he contact me about it if possible. old_skool_rulez at hotmail . Co. Uk. Thanks
No problems. I’ll forward him the message and get him to email you.
Stereo is making a break for freedom!
You'd be ecstatic if you drove my VR6 Syncro on a frozen lake, then !!!!!
Would love too, but the UK never got the Syncro other than as an import and I believe they were all left hand drive unfortunately 😬
