I have gone off the idea of a Mk2 after looking at the Mk2 crash test on Youtube.
Appalling.

Yeah, put me off a bit too. The MK2 was created before car manufacturers started concentrating on safety a lot more. With the MK3 they reinforced the doors, bulkhead etc. Hence why it got heavier.

I've just done as you suggest danny and watched the crash test of the Mk5 Golf.
It looks no worse than a fairground ride.
The Mk2 test on the other hand was appalling.

Plastic baby feeding spoon ^^  :lipsrsealed:

Eggy, get a life. How would your Alfasud have faired? Probably worse than the Golf.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

The Alfasud had the good grace to dissolve away in the decade in which it was built.

They normally like to introduce themselves through the back door, though.

At least if you're only 2-up this gives them a little way to come before they get very personal.
