Very proud owner of two Mk1 Golf GTi. One Schwartz Black and the other Diamond Silver. The 112 bhp, light body, exquisite handling and GTi fuel injection system provides sheer, unadulterated power and a passion to just keep on driving.

The best part about driving a Mk1 Golf Gti is putting some of todays so called "BIG BOYS" to shame as they still cannot live up to the godfather of all hatches even by todays standards.

For those who like the Japanese car scene, I have no objection, but one thing, the next time you pull up to a set of lights and theres a Mk1 Golf next to you, LOOK DOWN IN SHAME AND DON'T TRY TO EMBARASS YOURSELF!

The Mk1 Golf WAS the hottest hatch, IS the hottest hatch and WILL ALWAYS BE the hottest hatch! Thats why its world renouned for being the sexiest bunny RABBIT!!! For those who want to buy, go ahead, but only if you can treat i like a queen!

    It may be the classic but my 205 will beat it round a track, it is 0.7 secs faster to 60 in standard form and the handling is superb. With my 185bhp mi16 conversion 60 is coming up in just over 6 seconds dead............

    I'd have to agree with all but the last line "treat it like a queen" ???? dunno about that, drive it like you stole it more like!!! (it'll hardly ever break and if it does it'll be some 20 year old part that costs sod all to replace!

    or did you mean rag the bottom off it???

    Good luck when you hit a bend too fast (for a poo-go) spin out and die like steve did!

    The Golf GTi is the most classical of all Hot Hatches. It's not the hottest but it's the one that will be remembered along with the 205 GTi.
