This car was voted Top Gear's Car of the Year in the year by none other than Jeremy Clarkson himself.

But after twenty years, does it still stack up?

The Golf GTI Mark V, then.

This is the car that reinvigorated the GTI name after a few duds from Volkswagen.

It wasn't the fastest hot hatch of the day, it wasn't the sharpest handling either, but it was the best all rounder of the time, which is why it won the coveted Car of the Year award.

With the fifth generation Golf, we also got the R thirty two with its quirky three point two litre VR six engine with an increased power output of two hundred and forty seven brake horsepower.

It also came with the superlative Haldex four wheel drive system.

So it sounded great from a driver's perspective.

But all of that.

added a lot of weight, especially up front in the engine bay.

That's not what you want when you should be able to throw the car into the corner with a wheel cocked in the air.

This one is from VW's PR Heritage fleet, so it's in great condition, just three thousand miles, but you can still pick up one of these cars for around two grand if you think like Mike Fern and you don't mind buying a rust bucket you can fix up.

For a low mileage, highly specced VW Mark V Golf GTI, you can spend around ten thousand pounds and still get yourself a great car.

The fifth generation of the GTI marked a comeback, not just for the GTI itself, but actually for the whole hot hatch genre.

Things are starting to get a bit fat.

Power to weight ratios have disappeared in front of our faces.

And it seemed a long time ago, in the heyday era of cars like the Renault Five Turbo, Peugeot Two O Five GTI, things had lost their way.

The GTI brought things back to where they should be.

A car that had the looks to bring real purpose back to the GTI with two hundred horsepower under the hoods, a proper return to form,

and the dawn of a really new era of hot hatch.

The EP III Civic was always hot on the Mk.

V's heels, then along came the uber powerful Mk.

II V Renault Megane Sport, you had the Ford Focus ST, even the Vauxhall VXR Astra was taking a swing at the Golf.

The great thing about that era, though, is that it was game on for the battle of the greatest hot hatch, and there was plenty to choose from.

Back in the day on Top Gear, I got to test all these cars at the same time and throw them around the track.

Now, the Civic actually came out fastest, but the most memorable experience was

in the Golf.

I did get a bit overexcited, carried on a bit much in the follow through, had a bit of a wobble that cost it a few hundredths of a second, probably.

My favourite car, though, actually, was basically a stripped down version of the GTI, which was the SEAT Leon Cupra.

Effectively, a lightweight, more simplistic version of this car, and it was slightly faster on the leaderboard, so you got a little bit of extra performance because of the lightweight.

But the GTI is the one that had the class.

It's got a better interior, better infotainment system.

It just feels like you've got more car around you.

Now, if you talk to real GTI aficionados, they'll tell you that the Mk.

VII has taken over the mantle as best GTI, and I tend to agree with them.

Jeremy Clarkson, too.

He actually bought a Mk.

VII.

So did my wife, and she actually let me drive it once.

So I concur.

The Mk.

VII is kind of like the ultimate Golf.

The Mk.

VII.V with the advanced infotainment system, even better.

When you sit in a modern car like this, two thousand and four doesn't really feel like that long ago, but it's twenty years ago.

It was a cool era.

It's where cars still had handbrakes, no reversing beepers, and generally speaking, no systems telling you off when you did something you didn't like.

It does make you a little bit nostalgic.

It was my second year at Top Gear, and there was a lot of cool stuff going on.

You had the big battle between Subaru and Mitsubishi really making good cars still before they started going for cars without handbrakes.

Richard Hammond was being hypnotized by Paul McKenna, the world's angriest man behind the wheel, but lovely bloke, but just very angry behind the wheel.

And generally speaking, a lot of malarkey was going on at Top Gear, and we were firing in lots of different ideas, one of which was landing a man from a parachute into the back of a Mercedes.

The cool thing about the year of the Mercedes Benz was that it wasn't just supercars that were grabbing our attention, it was hot hatches, because the competition in that sector was so fierce, cars like this really came to the fore.

But there was some cool stuff knocking around, like the Aston Martin DB Nine,

Ferrari Four Thirty, again, fairly analogue beasts with loads of performance, with just enough technology that you could really get the power down and have a whale of a time.

The cool thing with the GTI is it's just that much more accessible.

Loads of people could get their hands on these models.

They're being made in a decent number and reliable.

So, twenty years on, this car is still doing what it was built to do, and it feels just as tight as I remember it back in the day.

Looking back on it, what would I go for?

There's plenty of competition for the Mark V GTI.

There's the Clio one eight two, some other outliers like the MG ZR.

Obviously, that would be Mike's choice.

like for you?

You're one hundred percent right Ben, I would go for an MG ZR, specifically the one sixty VVC model, preferably in trophy yellow.

Now I've sent Ben on today's nostalgic mission so I can finally chill out for once, and today's video sponsor, Beer Fifty Two, have dealt me in with a crate of craft beer.

and you can get your own free case of eight beers that you will not find anywhere else.

This month they've collaborated with Craft Brewers Northern Monk.

This Northern Monk Rivington packs a punch at seven percent.

It's an IPA and apparently has a pillowy mouthfeel.

Let's have a sip.

Mmm, pillowy.

Also included are other pale ales and a decadent stout, which has a velociraptor on the side.

Or is that a dinonipus?

Dinosaur nerds, comment down below.

Simply go to beerfiftytwo.com forward slash drive and cover just five pounds ninety five postage to get eight unique beers delivered right to your door.

If you don't like dark beer, just choose the light taste and don't forget you get a couple of tasty snacks.

Even if, after all that, you're still unsatisfied, you can simply pause or cancel any time.

Back to Ben in the ZR, I mean, GTI.

I don't know, there was the Audi S III, I had an Audi A III back in the day, the one point eight turbo, the S III pumped up the power with the two litre that's in this car as well.

But I do love an Audi.

It's slightly understated.

It's like a hovercraft.

That thing's just a workhorse.

Take you anywhere without standing out too much.

And probably the S III with those cool alloy wing mirrors is the one I'd still go for.

But looking at this now, this car is so tight and nimble.

I don't know.

If it was today...

Very happy with the Mark VII.

All this, I think this is a great driver's car.

And it's just got that element of retro that's really, really engaged to drive.

You can really feel it through the wheel.

This car was one of the first to have the electric power steering.

Early days, but still very responsive.

So you get a really good earthy feel through the steering wheel.

Just makes you want to put your foot down.

The cool thing with the GTI is the driving position.

It's quite up on the steering wheel, which I like.

Might be slightly in the Lancia Delta.

That's the whole thing about the hot hatch, is you are very much on top of the wheel and working the gears.

The two litre turbo engine in this car is a peach.

That's what Clarkson said back in the day.

Absolutely spot on.

It's the torque that really makes it drivable.

You don't need to be in exactly the right gear, but when you are, you really get the most of it.

So the Honda, quite high revving, sort of toppy engine.

I always preferred this.

the torque, the base of the line when you're pulling away, it's really what makes the car more engaging to drive, and it's fun.

So you've got plenty of juice in any situation, and it does sound good.

It's got quite a boomy sound to it, feels quite meaty, and it does pull the car around.

I'm not saying it's got torque steer, it doesn't, but it definitely, you feel like you're being flung down the road by something that beats business.

Braking wise, also pretty strong.

Again, it's enticing you to brake later in the corners.

You've got the assurance of the ABS pinpointing your stopping power, but they're quite strong brakes on the Golf.

It really matched to its weight.

Clarkson said this car weighed more than South Africa, which I think is a bit harsh.

And the Mark VIII now weighs one point five tonnes.

So cars are still getting heavier.

This is where it's at.

Lightweight, nimble handed.

What I like about this era is cars were allowed to roll.

So you could place the car, let the weight transfer, and be in control of what the car is doing in the corner.

That's something that really got phased out, especially in modern cars.

They're so stiff.

They're just stripped all roll out of them.

Okay, admittedly, yes, it's faster on a lap time, faster around the Nürburgring, but in terms of engagement, this is more fun.

And adding four wheel drive just adds weight, doesn't add value.

So, twenty years on,

Does this car still stack up?

Well, the smile on my face is probably giving the game away a little bit.

If I didn't look down and look at the stereo, I wouldn't really know this car hadn't just rolled off the factory line.

It feels fantastic.

I'm really enjoying it.

And nothing on the car has really aged.

Admittedly, this is a very low mileage model that's come out of Volkswagen's PR heritage fleet that's been very well looked after.

but it really, really feels very engaging and definitely would pick one of these up.

It doesn't feel like you're driving an old Cheddar at all.

It's really kept its mojo intact.

Now what's really amazing about this car is that it actually predates the iPhone, which is really hard to imagine because it delivers

all the feelings I demand of a modern hot hatch today.

It's just as good now as it was back in the day, and the fifth generation GTI really raised the bar for the whole hot hatch industry.

Everybody after this car came out had to be better, faster and stronger, and the reliability of this model really stupendous.

So it's a fantastic all rounder.

The world was a simpler pace back in two thousand and four.

And whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is really down to your vibe.

But the one thing that is for certain, the cars of two thousand and four were fantastic.

So Clarkson, Hammond and May will give you this one.

Definitely car of the year two thousand and four.

Any question is, which one should we do next?

Let us know in the comments.
