1989 Volkswagen Golf Reviews, Pricing & Specs

16V GTi, great condition. GTi brand known for good balance of looks, power and handling. car is agile and holds its own on the bends. maintenance is relatively low for a performance vehicle of this age and is helped by the great original build quality. great thing about the mk2 golf is how its looks do not fade over the years. this is a great car to own and driveOct 13, 2011

I love the look of this car with the quad headlamp grille from the GTI. The car is a blast to drive, around town, up the mountains, down windy roads, and even off- road. It seems that I have replaced almost every component on the car but its only because the car has tons of miles, it was neglected, sat outside for years, and was not maintained. Jul 01, 2010

My first ever rally car. A 1989 VW Golf MK2. As of now it is almost completely standard in terms of performance. It's a standard 1,8 CL engine with a standard gearbox. The exhaust is a 2" custom built with a 180 cell race-cat. The car have a full roll cage and competition seats and belts, but otherwise it is a mostly standard interior. We use 15" Silverstone competition gravel tires with Compomotive rims. All in all a basic rally car with most parts standard. However, later this spring my dad and I will start modify the car to compete in another class where bigger modifications are allowed (such as engines, gearbox and so on). We will have a tuned 1,8 GTi engine which will generate around 170-180 hp, together with the Golf 16V gearbox. The gear box will still be mostly standard but later in my rally career we will put together a better Dog-box type gearbox. Also a real differential will be put on and a shorter and more accurate steering. The interior and dashboard will be completely ripped out and a custom built dashboard (hopefully with lots of carbon-fiber) will replace the old one. A bigger exhaust will replace the one we have now and some good looking exterior parts will be put on (such as a rear wing). I will try to update with new photos when the building starts and when the new car is finished. Jan 17, 2009

everyone who has seen my car knows it suits me to the groud! (for now) its nippy for the age it is, it haddles beta then some cars my friends own but its no wear near as quick as most. ive had to fix few things but it doesnt bother me. ive got a huge exhaust being fitted this week n a huge sound system being finished off nxt week. i recommend mk2 golfs as first cars but 1.3 just isn't fast enough so if your going to get 1 n can afford the insurance make it a 1.6.Sep 17, 2008

Lyden fra den bagpotte. de gode bremser. G60 forkofanger. at den starter hver dag også køre den jo bare super :) der er ikke noget bedre end at sætte sig ud i dendejlige Golf og starte bilen, høre dens lyd også køre en tur. den kunne dog godt bruge servostyring og håndbremsen funker ikke for godt, venstre baghjuls leje skal nok skiftes på en tidspungt. men alt i alt en lækker bil som førstegangs køber :)Sep 01, 2008

this was a great new car... executive driven Demo (owners wife) Wolfsburg Edition.. 5 doors and allot of fun... i wish i would have bought a 3 door in hindsight... probably would have had less friends bumming rides all the time.. $7000 in warranty work in the 2 and a half years I had the car.. and not a problem for VW to stand behind it... DON'T BUY A VW BUILT DURING OCTOBERFEST....Aug 24, 2008
