Extreme handling (especially when lowered), good power to weight ratio, easily modified with great results, strong chassis, well built, huge respect from most motorists!


Bad Points

electrical faults


General Comments

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 think this car is great but it won\'t really keep up with my 205- still it is a classic and if you have one you should hold on to it.
    The old school hatches are brilliant fun but will not been there modern counter parts such as a clio cup or civic type r- I have driven them and they are absolutley fantastic.

    I have a 2000 (W) Civic coupe, engine just keeps on going and going but I still miss that feel of my old 205. Nothing beats the classics.
