Woah!

This has turned into rather a Golf bashing thread all of a sudden!

Where did that come from???
For the record; I like the look of a Mk1 Gti and Mk2 GTi 16v. I think they're good looking cars and had a deserved reputation for the time for being something 'a bit special' - definitely worthy of classic status.
After that though, they are just dull, fat, heavy and overpriced!
(The bits I don't like much about the Mk1 and 2 though is the shocking lack of equipment and IMO, the interior design of the Mk2 already looked dated when it was new

)
