Golf GTi 2.0L
« on: 28 May 2009, 18:46 »
I was thinking of buying a Y Reg 2.0L Golf GTi 60,000 miles for around £3,000

It has a full VW service history, only one lady user and is in mint condition...

What is it that is so different about this model then that everyone seems to deem not a true GTi???

Thanks for the advice!!!

Ok so it isn't as powerful as the 1.8T Gti but surely it's still a pretty decent car... or is it???

And it looks to be pretty much as powerful as a mk.3 Gti....

I do agree they should never of badged it as a GTi, but I guess they did it more because of the spec of the car rather than how it went.  But they are still solid well built cars, and quite easy to live with.
