Red tornado, nice, very nice. I had mine 16v white. Good and emotional machine

I would 100% agree with you 👍

I agree, although my mk2 16v in a straight line does get beat by most things these days get it on the twisty stuff and even a lot of modern hot hatches will struggle to loose it in their rear view mirrors, it's always nipping at their heels.

its mine at at 22 as well

Me two. Now I have the Mk7, the other best GTI

@@rafaminus5366 I've not driven anything newer than a mark 5. I'd be surprised if there had been no improvements in that time. Given how good the 5 was, I can't imagine you'd need much better than the mk7. In fact they might get worse again.

@@allosaurusfragilis7782 I drove the Mk5, still is the car of one of my friends. It's a good gti, no doubt. Really I've drove the 1,2,2 16v,5, and 7. All, good cars and the same heart

@@rafaminus5366 the wife had an r32 for ages as well. Her brother recently bought it off her. It was different in feel. Not as chuckable, similar performance and a brilliant noise, which never got old. Totally reliable as well. He's resprayed it and put new wings on. Looks great.

@@allosaurusfragilis7782 Good , good

I undertand you. I had one 25 years ago and it was the same. Smile,smile. Now I have my Mk7 and...smile,smile. Gti is a lifestyle

It was the mk1 that lost its title to the 205 but bear in mind it was almost 10 years newer they were almost an exact copy size shape albeit the 205 rounded all the edges and slanted the nose slightly same weight engine type, the mk2 16v was the same era car as the 205 wich had better steering better handling and brakes with more power than the mk1 (20 bhp more than the 205) then people always forget the mk2 scirroco 16v basically a mk1 golf chassis with a different body had all the benifits of modern brakes suspension etc and 140 bhp with only a 50 kg weight increase over the 205, its funny vw were always slightly ahead back then but people always seem to compare there old car to the newer models of other cars, another car that gets pulled out the bag is the rs turbo but vw already had had the polo g40 wich was faster than the uno turbo and renult 5 gt turbo (i.e it had no turbo lag) and they also had the g60 in the pipline wich was released a couple of years after simmillar weight to the rs turbo but 30 bhp more and no turbo lag. Aaaand breathe thats my wee rant over

@@stevenanderson7471 It's funny you mention the Scirroco, I had a secondhand Scirocco GTE (few years old) for a while but I hated it, It looked the business with a good bodykit and GTi badging (said GTE on the logbook) but the aftermarket suspension made it feel like a barge on the motorway so I sold it on after a couple of months. It had an E??? ??? reg plate in the UK which meant it was registered new in 1987, It looked great but it felt like a POS on the road so I sold that and got another Astra GTE.

Never heard of a gte scirocco even had a quick look to check, could have been a print error perhaps but there was the gtx wich was a very kitted out boykit wise compared to older models also known as scala and scala 2 normally written on the door pillars there were gtl models aswell but all these models had underpowered engines compared to the mk1 gti golf engine the 16v scirroco had the mk2 golf 16v engine (140 bhp ) there were only a handfull of these to even see one back then would have been a very rare occurance . The mk 2 scirrocco is just a mk1 golf with differant panels

@@stevenanderson7471 In that case it was a GTX, Being more than 20 years ago it's easy to forget the details I just remember it being badged GTi on the car & being different in the log book, easy mistake to make.

Mk4 is a great all rounder 👍 i have an 8v mk2, 16v mk2, 1.8t mk4 and pd130 mk4. All bases covered... a mk3 vr6 in the fleet too 😁

He’s at Motor1 UK I think
