Well I have a Mk1 GTI and I don't have a newer car.
Apparently when new it could do 0-100 in just over 8 seconds - which is slower than a Mk5 GTI (but may be quicker than a corolla). It depreciates slower too.

Horses for courses they say. On a winding road I feel no need for a newer car, but driving up to Kyneton tomorrow in +37 degrees may have me thinking that Air-con is worth a couple of thousand.

I think the writer's trying to sound a bit 'Clarkson-esque'. Not only does he/she fail, Clarkson also loves Mk1 Golfs and Sciroccos

which in itself is enough reason to keep loving them... oh and james may too!

i think its astonishing that a car 30 years younger than the mk1 gti and built ontop of all the experience and knowledge gained from producing the most popular small car of all time should actually be a whole second faster to 100km/h and be more luxurious at hte same time! why, it must be some kind of miracle!

OHHHHH! maybe they've only driven aussie cars, which seem to keep getting WORSE!

BBWWWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
