What’s your favourite Gen of Golf GTI?

Let's be honest, the GTI really changed Europe and the rest of the world back then. Finally a “fast” car for the people. Everything that VW is today with the Golf started with this very model back then. Thank you very much for reminding us of cars like this!

Back when cars were simple, no power steering, no touchscreens, manual transmission and a loud sounding engine 😎

Golf is named after a The Gulf Stream, Jetta is the german word for Jet Stream, Passat is also a wind, Sirocco is a Mediterranean wind called Sirocco and Polo is the Polar Wind.

Watching you review these older cars is like a flashback to the times these cars were released. Back when people were dreaming of ditching the classic sporty driving experience and replacing it with cars that do everything themselves and have TV's as dashboards!

Many VW models are named after wind streams such as Jetta is german for jet stream, Passat means trade wind, or Scirocco is named after Sirocco, a Mediterranean wind.

thank you for that . I owned a 1983 Rabbit Gti and it was a beast. over 200.000 miles on it and ran perfect.

the old cars had the road feel which made them exciting to drive, its now lost in modern refined cars. i had a mk1 1.8 gti. its still in family ownership testament to how well built these old vdubs were. they were made from good quality metal
