Bad Points

It's an old car now and needs to be looked after properly, this can be expensive!


General Comments

I've got a 1.3 mk1 golf which i've spent most of my time and money making it look like a gti, however the engine and electrics are now playing up forcing the car off the road. I am finding it hard to find the £450 to get it in ship shape order as my income is below £100 a week because i'm still in education. However I have found the lighter mk1 body makes the car very nimble and fast for a 1.3, which is helped in my opinion by the very sweet 4 speed box when around town and off the mark, I still get around an indicated 115mph, though very noisey. Since this is my first car im very happy to blow away the usally sh**e like novas and fiesters.
