-bit of a cliche. I actually remember the Alfa Romeo Alfasud being around before this car, but the GTI is what really kicked it all off.
110hp was a lot at the time, especially for a car this light. The gearbox was perfectly tuned to the peaky engine and it handled superbly thanks to stock Bilstein shocks and front/rear anti-roll bars (nowadays a common feature). Fuel injection was pretty new in the UK when this came out and there weren't many other cars you could get on 3 wheels in a corner.
Learned to steer with the throttle in this car ;)Jun 24, 2008

I bought this car by mistake. It was only six years younger than me. Every time I went through a puddle I had to spray the plugs and leads with WD40 and then wait for 10 minutes before driving on.
Some people used to tell me it was a collectors' item. The police were one memorably led to believe, through a combination of its age and my parking finesse, that it had been abandoned. That was embarrassing.
I sold it for £100 to someone who then sold it on to an enthusiast. About six months after parting with it, it zoomed past me on the A4. I was rather proud.Nov 17, 2007
