As a second car maybe, my first car was actually a Mk2 Golf GTi 16v, I was very lucky, and very poor because the insurance was nearly £200 a month.
It was fun to drive, but these days the roads are so busy, even at the weekend I’m not sure I’d get to drive it hard at all, it’s one thing to act like a bit of a berk when you’re on your own. Not to mention compared to modern cars, they’re not very fast – a boggo standard hatch back will run rings around it.
As a car, well it broke down a bit, didn’t like to start when it was very cold, the brakes were massively powerful, but without ABS and 15″ wheels they would lock easily, the steering was a 2 man job at low speeds and it was very cold and misty in winter.
So yeah, I’d like one, but I’d sort of keep it in the garage and look at it, maybe go for a drive when all I had to do was go for a drive, it was a pain in the arse to drive 20 years ago it would be hell now.
