Why the Golf 2 is still talked about today

When talking about the history of Volkswagen, the name “Golf 2” always comes up.
This model, which appeared in the 1980s, continues to remain in the memories and admiration of many people even decades after its release.

Simple angular design

The Golf II’s most distinctive feature is its angular design that has been stripped of all unnecessary elements.
Unlike modern cars that emphasize roundness, the straight lines of the design make it very easy to understand, and the car’s “outline” is clear. It’s
not flashy, but it has a calming quality that makes it easy to look at for a long time without getting bored.

A symbol of VW’s “simple and sturdy” nature

The Golf 2 is a car that perfectly embodies the Volkswagen-esque term “simple and sturdy.”
It’s built without unnecessary embellishments, focusing on the basics.
You can feel the serious craftsmanship of the time in the small details, such as the sound when you close the door and the sense of security in the body.

Proportions that still look timeless today

When you think of old cars, many people may have the impression that they are nostalgic, but also that they are old.
However, the Golf 2 has a good overall balance, and it surprisingly doesn’t stand out when placed in today’s cityscape.
This is one of the reasons why it is said to have a “timeless design.”

However, there are high hurdles to overcome before you can ride one while still active.

On the other hand, there are some practical challenges to using a Golf II as an everyday car in today’s world.
Parts are becoming harder to come by.
There is a limited number of shops and knowledgeable people who can properly service it.
And it’s inevitable that maintenance costs will be high.
These are issues that no one can ignore.

Great for aspiration, but difficult to use as an everyday car

The Golf II is a car that makes you think, “It’s fun just to look at it,” and “I’d like to drive one someday.”
However, it’s true that it’s a bit of a challenge when you consider daily shopping, commuting, and even traveling with the family.
This “gap between aspiration and reality” will lead to your next choice.

Why is the base model the 6R Polo?

Why was the 6R Polo chosen as the base car for the Golf 2 look?
It’s not just a matter of appearance, but also because there are a number of practical reasons for it to be used comfortably in everyday life.

The 6R Polo has a solid basic design

The 6R Polo is one of the most highly acclaimed generations of Volkswagen cars.
Its body rigidity and suspension construction are stable, and even though it’s an older model, it still provides a safe and secure ride.
It’s very important that the basics of a car, such as “driving normally,” “turning,” and “stopping,” are properly performed.

Electrical equipment and safety equipment are modern standards

The biggest difference between the Golf 2 and the 6R Polo is in the parts you can’t see.
The 6R Polo is equipped with safety features such as airbags and ABS, as well as air conditioning and electrical systems that meet modern standards.
It can be used comfortably in both summer and winter, and there’s less worry about sudden trouble.
This sense of security is essential in a car you use every day.

The number of used cars on the market and the abundance of parts

The 6R Polo is sold in large numbers in Japan, and there is a good supply of used cars available.
This means that parts are relatively easy to come by, and repairs and maintenance are not a big deal.
Being able to repair and maintain your car are important conditions for enjoying it for a long time.

Classic appearance, modern interior design

The appeal of the Golf 2 look lies in the atmosphere it gives from the outside.
But what really matters to the driver is what’s inside.
While the look is nostalgic, the driving feel and ease of handling are like a modern car.
This balance allows it to blend seamlessly into everyday life.

To enjoy the design, the reliability of the base vehicle is important

No matter how much you like the look, if it breaks down frequently or is difficult to maintain, the enjoyment won’t last.
By basing it on the 6R Polo, you can choose to “enjoy your favorite design with peace of mind.”
This is a very realistic approach that assumes you’ll be riding it for a long time.

The reason why the Golf 2 look works (exterior balance)

Many people who see the Golf 2 look 6R Polo for the first time feel that it looks more natural than they expected.
This is not just because parts have been replaced, but because the overall balance has been carefully balanced.

The detailed design of the front mask determines the impression

The front end has a big impact on the car’s overall appearance.
The shapes of the hood, bumper, and headlights are all designed to match the Golf 2’s aesthetic.
The square shape of the headlights in particular is what gives the car a strong Golf 2 vibe when viewed from a distance.

A design that doesn’t make each stand out too much

The important thing is not to make each individual part stand out too much.
If only the hood or the lights stand out, it will inevitably look like an afterthought.
The lines and height are aligned so that the whole flows naturally, so there is no sense of incongruity.

Cherish the atmosphere seen from a distance

This customization is not intended to show off the details up close.
We value the momentary impression that makes you think, “Oh, is that a Golf II?” when viewed from a little distance. It has a
presence that lifts your spirits when you happen to see it in your daily life.

Why it doesn’t look like cosplay

A common problem with classic-style customizations is that they end up looking somewhat artificial.
The reason this doesn’t happen with the Golf 2-look 6R Polo is because it doesn’t change the overall proportions of the car.
It makes use of the original balance of the 6R Polo without making any major changes.

Perfection born from organizing the details

The focus is on creating a balanced shape without adding any unnecessary decoration.
This approach results in a calm and composed finish.
As a result, the bike has a natural, natural feel, rather than an air of being “overtly customized.”

The key to customization is “subtraction”

When you look at the 6R Polo with the Golf 2 look, you don’t get the impression that “everything has been changed.”
Still, the worldview is clearly conveyed because the customization concept is very simple.

The wheels are a subtle choice

The first thing that catches your eye are the wheels, but they don’t have too much of a strong personality.
By deliberately choosing a design that’s close to the original and a subdued shape, we ensure that the overall atmosphere of the car isn’t disrupted.
If the wheels were too conspicuous, it would inevitably give the impression of being “modern” or “modified.”

The suspension is not too low and is practical.

The same goes for the vehicle height.
If you lower it too much to prioritize appearance, you will have to be careful over bumps and in parking lots.
With the Golf 2 Look, the height is kept at a level that can be used normally in everyday life.
This strikes a balance between appearance and practicality.

The rear is simple

The rear area is also neat and tidy, without any unnecessary decoration.
The rear view is surprisingly often seen by those around,
so we value a quiet and calm impression.

Rather than adding, it’s about “how far not to go”

When it comes to customization, people tend to focus on what to add.
However, with this car, the key is to decide what not to do.
By not making too many statements, the overall finish is enhanced.

How to have a long-term relationship

Minimal customization has the advantage of being less tiring to look at and less likely to become boring.
It is less influenced by trends and is easy to adapt to changes in age and lifestyle.
That is why this approach is so well suited to cars that will be driven for a long time.

The contents are completely polo = can be used in everyday life

The Golf 2-look 6R Polo might seem like a special car just from the outside.
However, once you open the door and get in, that impression is pleasantly betrayed.
The inside is still a 6R Polo. In other words, it is a car that can be used easily in everyday life.

The luggage capacity is sufficient for everyday use

Some people think that compact cars don’t have much room for luggage.
However, the 6R Polo can easily fit shopping bags and small travel luggage.
You can fold down the rear seats to make it even more spacious, so there aren’t many situations where you’ll have trouble with its usability.

Good handling for city riding

The car’s size is not too large, making it easy to handle even on narrow roads and in parking lots.
The steering is also straightforward, so even those who are driving an imported car for the first time will quickly get used to it.
It can be used without any worries for daily commuting and picking up children.

Balance between fuel economy and maintenance costs

Although it looks classic, its fuel economy and maintenance costs are modern.
It doesn’t have a large engine, so fuel costs are easy to keep low and it’s also tax-friendly.
As long as you maintain it regularly, there’s no need to worry about anything special.

Comfortable equipment supports your daily life

Once you start using features like heated seats and automatic air conditioning, you won’t want to let them go.
Even on hot or cold days, driving a car isn’t a burden.
With these features, there are fewer situations where you feel like “I don’t want to drive today.”

Contrary to appearance, its value lies in its normal usability

The greatest appeal of this car is that, while it looks special, it can also function as a normal everyday vehicle.
It’s not just a car to display, but can be used naturally in everyday life.
It’s this contrast that gives this car its great value.

Who is this VW suitable for?

The Golf 2-look 6R Polo is not the type of car I would strongly recommend to everyone,
but for those who have certain values, it will be a very comfortable car.

People who love classic VWs but also want to value reality

If you love the atmosphere of old Volkswagens,
but don’t want to live a life of
constant maintenance and breakdowns, this car is the perfect choice for you.
You can enjoy both the aesthetic appeal and the peace of mind of a modern car.

People who don’t want to ride in the same car as other people

Even when driving around town, you rarely pass the same car. It
‘s not flashy, but those who know will recognize it.
That sense of distance is the charm of this car.
It’s suitable for people who want to drive a car that they are satisfied with, rather than those who want to stand out.

People who prioritize mood over speed and numbers

Rather than speed of acceleration or horsepower figures, we value the feeling we get when we get behind the wheel.
Whether it makes us want to turn around and look at it in the parking lot.
This car is for people who value such feelings.

A car that is easy for VW beginners to use

Even if you’re new to Volkswagen, you can rest assured that the 6R Polo is the base model.
It’s easy to drive and not difficult to handle.
It will naturally ease any concerns you may have about import cars.

Also suitable for female users and as a second car

The car is not too big and the visibility is good, making it easy for women to handle.
It is also a perfect second car for the family and perfect for everyday use. It is a car
that can be enjoyed for a long time without any stress.
This VW is a good fit for such people.

The concept of “vehicle freshness”

When choosing a used car, many people may first consider the model year and mileage.
Of course, these are important, but when choosing a Volkswagen, another important thing to consider is the “freshness of the vehicle.”

Since it focuses on trade-in cars, the history is easy to see

When a car is traded in, it tends to be relatively easy to see how the previous owner used it.
There may be maintenance records or the car may have been handled fairly.
Knowing this background makes it easier to imagine what it will be like after you buy it.

Peace of mind knowing that the car was not purchased through force

There is a unique sense of security in cars that have been passed down naturally, rather than cars that have been forcibly collected from the market. This is because,
unlike cars that are purchased with price as the priority over condition, in many cases the condition has been carefully cared for.

Look at the current condition rather than the model year

Even if the car is new, if it has been treated roughly, it can be a cause for concern.
Conversely, even if the car is a little older, if it has been driven carefully, it is likely to be in good condition.
It is important to take a good look at the current state of the car, including the engine sound and the condition of the interior.

A perspective that will help you avoid regrets when choosing a VW

Volkswagens are cars where differences in condition are easily reflected in the ride quality.
That’s why it’s important to consider how well the car has been cared for.
With this mindset, your post-purchase satisfaction will naturally increase.

Building the foundation for a long-term relationship

Being aware of the freshness of your vehicle is the foundation for a long and safe ride.
Don’t judge by appearance or numbers alone, but look at the current condition.
This is the key to having a pleasant relationship with your VW.

Our vehicle sales stance is to "connect our thoughts"

This Golf 2-look 6R Polo shows a slightly different approach to the “it sells” mentality.
This is because the car is not treated as a mere product, but as something that carries on the spirit and background of the company.

Don’t judge based on price and specs alone

When choosing a used car, people tend to focus on the price, model year, and number of features.
Of course, these are important factors to consider.
However, with this approach, value is not determined solely by these factors.
Why is it designed in this way? How is it intended to be enjoyed?
We communicate about the car, taking into account all of these factors.

The idea of inheriting the entire concept

The 6R Polo with its Golf 2 look has a clear direction for how it should be driven.
It doesn’t strive for speed.
It doesn’t try to stand out.
It should be a car that lifts your spirits at random moments in your daily life.
The idea is to pass that philosophy on to the next owner.

Imagine how the next owner will enjoy it

At the sales stage, we think about how the customer would use the car and what kind of lifestyle it would suit.
This is a completely different approach from simply clearing out inventory.
We even imagine the occasions in which the next owner will enjoy the car.

VW is a car that can be enjoyed as a culture

Many people see Volkswagen as more than just a means of transportation.
They drive a car because they empathize with its history, design, and philosophy.
This vehicle sales stance is an extension of that VW culture.

Passing things on from person to person in a pleasant manner

A car that has been cherished, to someone who will cherish it in the same way.
It is this connection that allows the atmosphere of the car itself to be maintained.
The phrase “connecting feelings” is not an exaggeration, but an expression that suits this car perfectly.
