Description
This 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance offers a compelling package for enthusiasts, highlighted by an MOT valid until March 2027. That long-term certification provides immediate reassurance and removes the hassle of annual testing for several years. Finished in solid silver with distinctive Jacara Red cloth sport seats, the five-door hatchback balances practicality with the classic hot hatch aesthetic. With six previous owners recorded, the history is transparent, and the inclusion of a three-year/60,000-mile warranty adds a layer of protection for the next chapter of its life.
Under the bonnet sits the 2.0-litre petrol engine, tuned to deliver 227 bhp in this Performance specification. Power is managed through a semi-automatic transmission, sending drive to the front wheels via the XDS electronic differential lock. This system helps maintain traction when cornering hard, making the most of the progressive steering and sports suspension setup. The GTI Performance badge isn’t just for show; it brings a top speed of 154 mph and sharper handling dynamics compared to the standard model. While the CO2 emissions sit at 149 g/km under the Euro 5b standard, the start/stop technology helps manage fuel consumption during daily commuting.
Inside, the cabin is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. Two-zone climate control allows the driver and passenger to set their preferred temperatures, while cruise control with a speed limiter takes the strain out of motorway journeys. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth telephone connection, DAB radio, and an MDI iPod connection cable, ensuring your music and calls are easily accessible. Parking is made simpler thanks to front and rear sensors, complemented by electric folding mirrors with puddle lights. The bi-xenon headlights with LED technology provide excellent visibility at night, and the 60:40 split-folding rear seats offer flexibility for carrying larger items when needed. Height and reach-adjustable steering ensures you can find a comfortable driving position, supported by the height-adjustable driver’s seat.
