I like this generation Golf a lot, especially because they focused a lot on comfort, tech and especially high speed. Even this one must have felt really fast back in the early 2000s, and as the Variant it was pretty much the perfect traveler.

Golf V6 4Motion competition

A little over 1500kg for stock V6 weight, say 30-40kg difference between the R32 mk4.

my friend had one of these and in the owners manual it stod 'curb weight 1580kg'.. personally I don't think a Golf MK IV V6 4motion weights only 1380kg...

Yes the weight is correct. Remember that the V6 has a heavier construction because of the AWD and its also a V6.
