Advantages: it's one cool dog

Disadvantages: i don't have one. yet!

The Volkswagen Gold mk1 gti. Surely the finest example of a hot hatch to have graced the earth. At the moment i am seriously considering buying one of these firey little devils. They pack quite a punch and you can expect a good example to get from 0-60 in around seven seconds. Considering the age of these cars that is incredibly quick.

The vw golf gti mk1 is the definitve hot hatch. Car enthusiasts everwhere always refer to the mk1 gti as the best. It's light weight shell makes for great handling and great speeds. The interior of the car is also very good to look at as well. although most examples do suffer from wear to the seats as well as other areas in the car.

The volkswagen golf r32 weighs double the mk1 golf but boasts a 3.2 litre engine the speed of the two is obviously different but somehow one feels more in tune with a mk1 golf than the r32. I have owned an r32 and have driven many golf mk1s without doubt the more pleasurable experience comes from the mk1. It is quick and so unrefined and old school that i dare anyone not to enjoy driving it. A brillinat all round car. I love it.

Summary: brilliant go get one.
