    Bad Points: I had it a week and it broke down so much for german engineering. But I am sure it is more to do with the fact it sat for 3 weeks before I bought it. I am happy with the amount of parts available but not happy with VW they want £329 for a fitted Alternator on a 96 reg GTI. Come on VW this car is good but no way a part can be worth a 3rd of the vehicle! Has a tendancy to make funny sounds!


    General comments: Car is like lightening and looks so good in black. I am lucky enough to own one one with only 1 rust spot. It flies like no other car I have owned. I've had other cars with 150bhp and none went this fast. Even after 12 yrs it still has a proper car smell. When it gets warm you can smell it on you. Handles well too! Plus I got 38mpg out of it.
    This is a car I am going to keep and spend some cash on because it deserves it and I actually think the Mk3 is the nicest one of all of them! Go on buy one!

    Volkswagen GTi 16V:
    Unmistakable german build quality coupled with performance that will give most hot-hatches a run for there money. Engine is nice and torquey once up get the revs up which also means it makes for a good motorway cruiser. Only down side is the insurance, group 16! But thats down to insurance companies taking the micky!

    Loaded with torque, the 16V VW Golf GTi is still one of the most exciting sport compact cars on the streets. The engine revs high and this car is lightning off the line. Handling is suburb stock and magnificent with just a little modification. With engine mods, car can really move and make Hondas look even worse than normal! After 150k, engine is still strong with only repairs being replaced plugs, wires, distributor, battery and upper/lower radiator hoses. Make sure and use premium fuel-you'll ...
