Great Golf this , put a powerful 1,8T engine in mine ( in Forza 4) that now has around 300 hp , and handles great , what it loses in speed , it makes up for in the corners .

In Europe the Golf 4 was introduced in august 1997 at least according to wikipedia :) I remember from the motoring shows here in sweden that tested the new Golf early in 98.
But the Mk3 Golf was sold until 99 in Usa.

I meant the Golf III, not IV.

Again, I have a '99 MK3 GTI VR6 hatch. Just want to make this clear. The MK3 ended production in '99. The MK4 started production started in '99 but was NOT considered a true '99 Golf GTI. Any VW enthusiast will tell you that an MK4 made in '99 is called a '99.5 meaning it was being produced alongside the final MK3's. My GTI is an MK3, not an MK4.

No, you're wrong. The Golf III was still being produced til 1999, by which time the Golf IV had also entered production alongside.

wrong! the 1998 was the Golf IV.

no they changed body style in 1999 mid year. this is an original '99. it changed to a '99.5 later on. Its like the 1964.5 ford mustang. They started production halfway through 1964.

GTI's not part of the name, VR6 was a separate model. And I wouldn't be surprised if that was a US Spec bumper as almost all of the European cars in Forza are modelled on the US versions.


Well, those are changable anyway.
