On the parkers website it says the 16v is only half a second behind the vr, it varies where you look, people underestimate the mk3 far too much

Id say the original hot hatches, Golf GTI, pug 205 GTI etc etc will allways be the hot hatches....

Now its just ST's/VXR's  driven by arseholes who will still be paying them off in 10yrs time. Cool cars, made seriously uncool. Therefore in my logic, not a hot hatch  :tongue: :laugh:

dont forget the GTE,s and the 309 gti  :wink: i had both and they were propper hot hatches. the handling of the mk1 astra GTE and the 309 gti was insane. well it seemed it at the time. there is no way i would push my golf into corners at the speeds i did with them cars. although that maybe as i was younge and stupid then  :grin:
but the torsion bar rear suspension on the 309 gti just stuck like sh!t to a blanket

i just think that the golf vr6 was made to compete with bmws

If they did they failed  :grin: .... performance wise

dont forget the GTE,s

I remember racing one of these from a stand still... he was up my chuffer waiting for me to get out of his way  :embarassed:  :grin:

My first car was a 106 gti. Still one of the best cars I've drove round corners. And that's including a Nissan GTR
