Hi Guys,
New to the forum but i'm thinking of getting a Mk1 or Mk2 GTI as a daily driver, I have an old camper as well. There is a MK2 for sale near me, just wondered if they make a good daily (50 miles a day), how much they cost to run etc? Anything too look out for?
This is the one for sale
Thanks for any help
Hi mate & welcome!
never owned a mk1 but i reckon a mk2 can make a decent daily drive! Drive a standard one sensibly and you should easily get 30mpg + as well as being fairly reliable and pretty good to insure (age means they often qualify for classic insurance!)
I managed to run a turbo converted 8v for 3yrs daily and apart from being a bit juicy due to the conversion, I loved it!! The Corrado i have now also gets used daily and for a 16yr old car thats done 182k its pretty good. Replaced all the tired suspension, brakes, bushes & exhaust when i got it but has been good since **touch wood**!
not to keen on the wheels on that one personally but looks tidy!
What Camper have you got? I think they are wicked and would love to get one!
Martin
