1986 Volkswagen Golf GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Oh my god this car is fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the only problem I've had with my golf convertible GTI 1.8 is the hood
needed replacing after 15 years, due to constant use.
General comments?
This car is very very fast. Also it's very reliable for a car of it's age. Being a boy racer I couldn't leave it standard for to long, so as soon as I had the cash the modifications started taking place!
17" wheels
3000 watt sound system
De-handled body
Flushed boot-lid
Leather interior
Chrome interior dash
Full scorpion exhaust system
Metallic flip paint
This car is my baby I love it to bits!
Due to this car I have opened up a Volkswagon garage.
