2004 | - | Saskia Nelson says... | It's goodlooking, reliable and goes like a bullet from a gun - just like the ideal boyfriend would do but never does! |
1992 | GTi Mark 3 2.0 | Jenny Swanston says... | It's fun, fast, handles well and is much more distinctive than the later models yet has the power and every day drivability that the first two no longer have. It is good around town and a great motorway car, which is how most of us drive today, but it really comes into its own when taken on to country roads where it corners amazingly and has the acceleration to pull out of those corners really well. I may be biased as I own one but I think it looks pretty cool too, much more modern in appearance than the Mark 4 and as i said more distinctive. |
1974 | GTi | John Midwood says... | It's been around nearly as long as I've been driving & it's still the best! |
1988 | 1.8 GTI | Emma Porcas says... | It's a lovely solid car to drive and they just look nice and it was my first ever car and i loved it!! |

2003 | 1.9 Tdi/Pdi | John Williams says... | Anything with the 1.9 pdi engine made diesel engines worth owning. High performance with excellent fuel economy. |
1978 | Series 1 1.6/1.8 GTi | Giovanni Desogus says... | I think the development of the Mk1 Golf GTi, the first real hot hatch, led to a revolution in affordable sports hatchbacks, but is still a fantastic car in its own right. I've owned several and driving them is immensly satisfying. The fact that there are still so many good examples available is a testament to the build quality and reliability of the car. |
2001 | 2.0 gti | Rashid Sherif says... | I love volkswagen cars they are beautiful and economical.and the spares are affordable. |
1980 | gti | mike walsh says... | I have had one for 21 years, and it is better than all the new cars i have purchased. |
