Been offered one at what i think is a good price,
Just wondered what people's views are on them, previous experiences etc...

Its a Y reg GTi with 84k on the clock, in gunmetal grey.
And its just the normal GTi not the 180.

Cheers

Thanks

I've got one in my collection at the mo. Also had a 180 too.

They are great fun, handle good, quick enough.

Driving position could be better but alround they are good value. Mine is a '99 T and i've replaced the rear stub axles and bearings for £250 so it isn't a major worry.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
