psilosimon 8 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi, I mentioned on my introduce yourself page that I'm after a VR6 Highline. 5 door cos the kids keep sayin Dad when you gonna get a car with doors at the back and windows we can open.Prefereably black, Mulberry ok, but what is different about the two exterior blacks?Some I have seen some Highlines listed as Special Edition models. what's that about?One car I am pondering over has 18" wheels. How will this affect the car? bearing in mind I may drive in Europe with the wife, two kids, roofbox, bootful and bikes on the back. (My mk3 Golf Gti managed it with aplomb).

goonersteve 0 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 As far as I know, there is no 'Special Edition' model. Sometimes sellers will advertise it as that, because it is a 'Highline' model, which is effectively a special edition model.As for the rims, I personally wouldn't want anything over 17" as it can affect the ride and handling, or so i'm told. Others may tell you different though. Link to post Share on other sites
editionmatt 1 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 could be due to the climatronic as its quite rare you see them in the golfs, guessingg its an optional extra or any optional extra to that point may give people the idea that its a "special edition" Link to post Share on other sites
psilosimon 8 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Other subtle differences I have noticed are pockets on the rear of the front seats and the arm-rest padding on the door cards vary. Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 as far as i know vw never made a "special edition" mk3 golf vr6 .... as said some people put that in the add to get attention but the highline is the top of the range ... as for the black as far as i know there is only the metalic black ??!!
