    I own a Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk1 1.8 Cabriolet. My older brother owned a Golf convertable in its peak time, my sister owned one as well, and both never failed to impress the locals and neighbours.
    So now I followed the tradition and bought one as well. Now, I can without a doubt, say that the Golf i ...

    my little Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk1 8v has a fast road cam, ported head, janspeed manifold, magnex exhaust, balanced 1900 bottom end and a close ratio gearbox. The power and handling is unbeatable, The original hot hatch is too hard to beat !!!!!!! sorry saxo boys and girls xxxx

    I have owned mk1 golfs for years, in my opinion you will not get a better hot hatch, the overall handling and performance will nail any standard hot hatch on the road today.......

    I own both a Saxo VTR and a Golf 1800 GTi campaign model. I use my Saxo as the day to day car and Golf for when I need cheering up and on the weekend.
    There is no comparison for me. I find the saxo fun to drive but the golf is amazing.
    The saxo is common and so was the golf in its time. Could you ...

    Well the Mk1 Golf is the best hot hatch and will be around for many more years to come. (I quote) The common mans porshe! However my personal taste with regards to the MK1 are not the late GTi shells but the early small tail light models, I believe last produced shell of this kind was in 82. These a ...

    We should all be grateful for VW starting the hot hatch genre, however the best old school lightweight GTI's are the 205 and the williams clio. Both share the mk1's small size and lightweight and brittle build quality, but the quality of the driving experiance is improoved in the french cars by more ...
