what group are golf gti mk2's?

mines costing me about 70 quid a year less than my nova turbo does, i think thats a bit daft really for a 1985 car

I reckon the guys are on to a good idea here, at least with a mk2 you will learn more about the mechanics, have a car that will cost you less to buy, and be driving something you wont get bored of within the first month. If you end up with a 1.4 mk3, you will always be wanting more power!
