i want a mk2 golf as my first car, its just hard to find one for a good deal... the one i want, i wanted like a 80's coupe mk2 golf the 90-91-92 mk2's dont really have that retro feel, im from latvia, often time i even look at estonia and lithuania car markets to see if someone is selling for a good price, someone was recently selling one just like i like, but it was white, and it was a really bad condition one, but it was good price.

@@Latvians You can't really go wrong with them. I had 1.6 Turbo Diesel from 2014-2018. It was in terrible condition, failing turbo, leaking oil, consuming oil and coolant, huge amounts of smoke, etc. I driven it for 230 000 km until I crashed it. Never repaired it and it never let me down. The only hard repair nowadays is If you buy a petrol one with bad carburettor. The people who know how to fix those ask for big money and K-jetronic of GTI. It also depends where you live, I bought my current 1.3 for 200 euros and a gearbox for it for 25 euros and I have it for 2 years now altough I drive much less than I used before, just 15000 km in two years.

@@061Hitachi thats amazing, yeah the golfs are very strong, and very underated, most over here in baltics want like a ''bmw e36'' or ''audi 80'' or some other audi as their first car, nobody really wants a golf, they are very rare nowadays, rare to find one under 500$, i want a 80's 1.6 coupe, idk if they make them in 1.8 aswell, my budget is only like 300 euro, i dont really care of the condition, it can be rusty, i want to learn how to work on cars full time so i could use it to learn how to weld and all that anyways, i want a mk2 golf as my first car, cause its kind of lowkey in my family's tradition, grandma had like a mk1 golf i think as her 2nd car, then she got a mk2 golf 4 door, around the same time my mother bought her first car from the salon, and it was a late 80's mk2 golf coupe, dad's first car was the mk2 golf that grandma had, he bought it from her in mid 90's for 400 euros, then grandma got a mk3 golf, sold that to my dad later, nowadays mom and my oldest sister both have a mk7 golf universal, i would get a audi, but the audi 80 is a bit common, and i know nothing about most audis, the only audi that i would want is like a audi 90, or a audi 80 b2, or a audi coupe, and all of those are usually well over 600 euro, volvo's also very overpriced over here, a mk2 golf makes sense for me, they are so under rated, that its a 40 year old car... and most of them usually have under 250K mileage, and theres so many cars that are only 10 years old and have like 350K+ mileage, but yeah i would want a mk2 golf as a learning car for everything in the car world, my city is also full of alot of diesel heads, audi and volkswagen fans, so i probably can get alot of knowledge about the cars from them, only thing to me that matters now is that if its a coupe, not white, and if its from the 80's, kinda hate myself for deciding that i want a car so late, cause i had looked at listings way before, and there was a mk2 golf coupe in black, with aftermarket wheels, dropped, aftermarket bumpers just how i like, selling for 300 euro, but had no front seats, and there was one selling in lithuania, in sky blue, aftermarket stuff, semt abandoned, also for like 300 euro, i already have some plans set for the car when i get it, obviously 1... to fully learn how to drive, and then i want like, specific wheels, i want to drop it a bit lower than usual, maybe aftermarket bumpers, maybe aftermarket steering wheel, i wanna to a technical change or whatever, oil change, filters change, electrical change, and maybe somewhere down the line in next years i probably would want to change all the brakes to new, and maybe VR6 Turbo Swap it, i feel like thats my dream mk2 golf right there.

1:52 Someone probably has tweaked it so that when you turn on the headlights it also turns on the large and hard to overlook hand brake warning light. Why? Well I can totally relate to it because even after 10 years of driving the MK2, I still sometimes forget to turn the headlights off when I park and it is day. There is just nothing reminding you.

1.6TD easily gets 60 mpg and is pretty fast, I crashed mine and now I drive the same one in this video 1.3 petrol. It's slow and gets around 30mpg, 1.6 and 1.8 are much better. GTI is too expensive and unreliable.

@@FunnyMannager Golf mk3 (1992-1997) is rust prone and very unreliable compared to mk2. Golf mk4 (1998-2004) is a good youngtimer and is very reliable, solid car. Mk2 (1983-1992) is a simple, reliable and very tough car and you can fix most stuff yourself from changing transmission to maintaining it. the problems with it are age related and depending on previous owners. for.e.g. just last night my ignition switch broke and I was left in the middle of the woods and the button for lights broke. Fix for ignition was to cut wires from the jack and start it on wires, now i connected the wires to a button just like in new cars now it starts on button. button for lights cost me 2$ at a local shop. Obvious cons are no ABS brakes, no power steering and there are no luxuries (except for the 1990-1992 mk2) which had those stuff. Diesels get 60 mpg but are very noisy and they pollute too much. Turbodiesel is fantastic altough turbo can fail and is very costly. 1.6 and 1.8 petrol are fantastic but they use too much gas. GTI models are collector items and their values are rising every day so you should buy one GTI if it's cheap.
