For Sale: 1998 Volkswagen Golf in Christiansburg, Virginia
The European Mark 3 Volkswagen Golf Wagon---officially marketed in
Europe as the Volkswagen Golf Variant---was produced from 1993 to
1999. It holds a special place in automotive history as the very
first factory-built station wagon estate in the Golf lineup.Because
it was strictly a European and global market vehicle, it was never
sold directly to consumers in the United States or Canada, making
it a highly sought-after, unique import today.The Mk3 Variant
shared its engineering underpinnings with the standard
third-generation hatchback:- Platform: Built on the Volkswagen
Group A3 platform, which it shared closely with the Volkswagen
Vento (the European name for the Jetta sedan)- Dimensions: It
retained the same wheelbase as the hatchback but featured an
elongated rear overhang to maximize cargo capacity.- Design era:
Designed under the direction of Herbert Schafer, it moved away from
the boxy lines of the Mk2 into a smoother, more aerodynamic,
rounded '90s silhouette.46,182 kilometers
