    Exceptional value for money for a classic Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 motor with decent performance that carries a cast-iron reputation not rivalled by much in the hatchback market today. Parts easy to source and plenty of speciallists to keep it in good nick. Need a garage and time to give them the proper TLC they deserve though. Bought a very handy book from eBay 'Essential Buyers Guide for Mk 1 & Mk 2 VW GTi's' written by two experts...well worth the tenner.

    I like the Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 its a real beauty and it has pure power under the bonnet... the gti is definitely a fearsome beast on the road and has earned its respect over the decades... Overall a very good car... reliability 10 out of 10. Only bad point is steering wheel is a bit on the tight side but its manageable.

    The Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 handling is great. Looks are aggressive and pulls like a train. I have owned various MK2's the first being a 16v. Revs well throught the entire range and goes like a rocket. I have had the 'ellite' version too, the Rallye, with its 4WD system with the 8v G60 charged engine this is one awesome little golf. I loved every moment of the experience it gave. NO other car comes close in its range. My current MK2 is the GTD which is also a great little car, it offers great ...

    When driving one of these bad boys, you the driver feel 100% in control.
    They look awesome (big bumpers and fat wheel arches) and can hammer a lot of these newer cars! Smart image! Real head turner if you got one in a good tidy condition, (you always get people offering to buy them off you)
    if you ever get the change to own one off these!

    I've got a Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 and it's the best car I've ever owned, fast and furious, though it has a mk3 2l 8v engine, plus slight problems with fuel pump, injectors and distributor, I'm planning to get a 16v engine or vr6 fitted on, still confused. A tip: never give up a mk2 gti, and trust me, "real men" drive hot rides like mk2.

    Great little car that is as reliable as a tank. Will not just break for no reason. it does however have small faults which are easy to fix, but annoying. There is a lot of room and space, even though it is considered a small car.

    Overall, the Volkswagen Golf GTi is the best car I have ever owned. History includes a Mk 1 Impreza, which was rubbish unless you gunned it.

    I owned I white golf GTi 8v. When I bought the car it never had the big bumpers. I replaced the small bumpers with the big bumpers and skirts which makes the MK2 Golf look a lot better looking. The standard 15inch BBS alloys needed a refurb on all four and was getting quoted too much, so I decided to replace them with 17inch black Team Dynamics alloys. With the windows tinted the whole car now looked completely different. Performance wise the car was quick when you needed it to be. It was not a ...

    The Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk2 is a good car overall. I have had a few minor problems (central locking stopped working was the worst one), but it is great for a 20 year old. It has the classic looks that still make this car a favourite, and it has the speed to match.
