It has the be the MKIV GTi, the Turbo was ok, but the GTi was truly a dog of epic proportions.
For what its worth I had a MK3 8V as a company car and I thought it was pretty good, not a MK2 by any stretch of the imagination, but a very competent car.

YEah MK4 GTI is dreadful without a doubt, not worthy of a GTI badge.

Mk IV GTI (all) = no fun, I have drove the 115bhp, 180bhp, and V6 4Motion and all are too boring.

Mk3 GTI - 16v/VR6 are fast, but 8v isnt THAT slow i found a 0-60 time of 8.7secs standard

Mk2 & Mk1 - tin boxes compared to newer GTI's and look horrid (no offence) but are supposed to be excellent to drive and throw about.

what about the "Sharan", just for the name alone!

Title: Re:Worst VW Ever
Post by: silksnsc on 30 July 2003, 22:48

Caravelle?, Sharan?, bit harsh , they're both pretty capable of doing what their designed for( speaks the bloke who's old enuf to know better and got 3 kids !), the Mk4 GTi (not the turbo) should never have worn the GTi badge and then a Mk4 GTi with a diesel engine, what the hell were they thinking!!!

then a Mk4 GTi with a diesel engine

i was going to mention this but stopped short as they did have Mk2 GTDs on the Continent. so really, the BMW Mk4 Golf GTI Diesels are nothing new.
