Mk1 & 2 maybe, as it's more likely enthusiasts that own the so "get it". Anything else is just driven by randoms who would just give you an odd look.  Corrado drivers that I've seen about whilst driving mine ALWAYS wave or flash.  Although tbf, it's only been a handful I've seen in my 3 years of Corrado ownership.

I do when driving my MK2 & get waves back, but it's only from older cars, but right across the range...

MK1 & MK2 Golfs, Corrado, Scirroco, Camper Van, Beetle...

I don't get any waves in my MK7 Golf  :sad:

I'm now an Audi driver so I do my best to get in front and become an obstruction.

Ah... but just think... if you had a BMW you could tailgate, intimidate, drift between lanes without indicating.... and still get in front and become an obstruction :laugh:

I sometimes give them a hearty "AHOY there!"
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

Wouldn't think drivers of newer models would wave to each other much given they are a bit more common. As previously mentioned, Mk1 and Mk2 owners will likely be a bit more 'enthusiast' and wave.
