"Overall, owners of the 1992 Volkswagen Golf GTI love its spirited performance and engaging driving experience. Many appreciate its classic design, fun handling, and solid build quality.

I have the 2.0 8v GTi, good solid motor, pretty quick, handles amazingly well, even in the wet.
January 2, 2008This car's got tons of power once you get it up to highway speeds. When you floor the gas, it's like a drug. You can't get enough of it. On top of that, it sounds nasty as hell! The vr6 engine conversion made a huge difference, and also makes it a sleeper for people who don't know what it is!
November 5, 2010There is nothing to dislike about this light, turn hugging, torque spitting sleeping beast. Althought breaks could use some aftermarket work. Fun car to drive. Big bumper set-up with mud flaps make for dropped wide body look. Not your everyday obnoxious sounding 4 banger! turns heads too.

July 7, 2010Recaro seats are perfection. handles amazing (insane since I added Coilovers and Neuspeed sways/roll bars). TT exhaust is meaty. Classic GTI styling. Much cooler than every VW that has been released after this car (Corrado exception 92-94). Roomy, Rides Nice, Sounds Nice... is there a better car? Best GTI made. Modern Classic that will be worth mucho bucks soon.
March 7, 2010Brilliant little car, fast and reliable but drinks fuel
January 31, 2008This car is a boner on wheels. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. No, seriously. It is. This is the epitome of classic german automotive styling. Compact, AERODYNAMIC (Lower drag coefficient than a corvette! hahaha), quick, comfortable. There's no mystery here people. There's a reason it was called the "pocket rocket" back in it's day. ;)
August 28, 2008It is great looking car with passat synchro wheels wrap with205/55/15 gt racing tires, red with black trim and interior is amazing with recaro seats. it is very fast and fun to drive with a 1.8l 8 valve 5 speed transmision. just a fun great car.
September 14, 2009Turned an old GTI into a slick little go cart. Leather passat seats bolt in with minor mods to frame rails, full flares and skirts from 16V Jetta, new panels & paint all over, adjustable suspension, all wheel discs, Borla exhaust & 17" FRD wheels w/ Yoki Parada rubber... by far the best street tires I have ever owned. Highly recommended car... turbos bolt in easy & increase power as much as you want & clans & clans of people follow these things like mad.
August 24, 2008I love this car with all my heart! its a mk2 so obviously there's some issues but its no big deal. The greatest thing about this car is that its stick! its also my first bought car, so what could be better than that???
May 11, 2011Twas a red one and she was excellent, had an amazing feel for the road. They just don't build cars like this one anymore. It wasn't the fastest car on the road, but if you want to have fun no matter what speed you're at, this is the car for you. Sorry, but it only comes with a manual tranny.
