MK1 GTi- Currently after one
MK2 GTi

MK5 Gti the futor classic. A long way to go but it's next in line.

The mk3, mk4, mk6 and mk7 have no soul (in my opinion)

Mk2's are my fav I think.

Only ever owned a mk4 derv so my opinion proabably isn't valid!  :grin: :laugh:

My favourite is the Small bumper 3 door big window Mk2 16v in Atlas Grey, awesome car had two of em so far.
One of mine made 148bhp std, nearly 10 bhp up on book figure.....

Second is the Mk1 GTI, the original.

Third is the Mk5 GTI, really lifted the model from the horrid wallowy Mk4

Mk1 Campaign in Mars Red, this is where it all started for me after my brother brought his first one!

I don't think looks were high on the agenda when they built it.

Easy, the Mk1 GTI, original and still the best, only ever driven one mk2, love my mk3's but never going to be the best. but as people have said before a standard mk5 gti is a very special car out of the box and has everything. Smart move by VW to go back to the original for inspriation.
