General Comments

I have had 3 Volkswagen Golf Mk1 GTI's and they all have made me smile every time I have driven them, even if just to the local shop and back, as I say to people who ask why you have "that old thing" I simply say "If you have to ask the question you will never understand the answer!" The car oozes feel, feedback, and is just a very easy, friendly car to drive. I know it dosn't have all the airbag nonsense etc but if you need that the car you are driving just dosn't talk to you enough before you crash! The mk1 golf GTI is the most fun you can have in a car, and if you buy one you will instantly have mega cred and people asking you if you want to sell it. How many saxo vts/r owners can say that? Plus the value can only go up! if you don't dick around with the thing and leave it as VW made it.
