i dont think we are slagging off the gti name mr black. you have to remember just how astonished the car world was when vw first chucked out the mark 1. it was way ahead of its time and they followed it up with the mark 2 pushing the words 'hot hatch' into the history books.  if u like researching check out peoples views and opinions at the time and maybe u will understand why enthusiasts were dissapointed with the mark 3.  i appreciate why u own the car u do and I understand that someone has to own it - but even u have to admit that vw have made a bit of a comeback , im awaiting with great anticipation what u buy next!!!  ;) :D

I wasnt around in 1976 ... my brother was born then tho LOL

and if u read the what happened in the early 90's u'll read summet along the lines of

"with insurance premiums on hot hatches going thru the roof and the sales of hot hatches dropping, something need to be done, and this was VW's answer, to produce a same powered car as the previous mark but add more equipment, making it heavier and therefore slightly slower, but also reducing premiums because of airbags, immobilisers etc. ... the "hot hatch" days have now died off .. with the likes of the mk2 16v golf and XR2"

summet like that ... its not 1986 anymore.

I'd have the more modern mk3 8v (97/98), thats higher in value with the oppotunity to sell it and buy two 16v mk2's HAHAHAHAHA

(not that I would  :D )

123bhp/tonne ... better than a standard 8v mk2.
