This was my first car when i was 18. I loved it and it flew past all GTI's back then It broke all the time(sold it without reverese) and the chassis was so soft that if you used the oem jack on one corner no doors could be opened without brut force

See the prices now are getting pretty high for mint cars..

My mate had one in the 80's and I loved the intake sound from the webers when he floored it - those were the days

GTI bye, bye. I don't even think the GTI would have been born had it not been for the Abarth thats one reason it's a cool car it was the start of the hot hatch.
