It's special because it somehow costs $1000+ for a 25 year old car with no power steering and 90hp?what is so special about that kind of car?

I am working on it, untill now I have only had my jetta to practice in and my pedals are weirdly spaced. With the gti everything is closer together so it will be easier. I have "driving shoes" that are just really thin shoes but I only wear them in the car. I had my boots because that is all I wear in the winter.Can you drive Heel-Toe?
i think the pig would steer better than the MkV R32R32 still understeers like a pig on rollerskates. You try putting a gigantic 6-cyl in a transverse FWD-based econobox and see where it gets you...
Heel-toe driving in a Mk4 VW is impossible unless you have clown feet, and I'm a size 12.5.I am working on it, untill now I have only had my jetta to practice in and my pedals are weirdly spaced.

That's a total chick car.Blue, it is really dick to put down another mans car. Think what you may but I still love the car and that is all that matters.
Hahah...How you forget how everyone gave you **** for your rides.Heel-toe driving in a Mk4 VW is impossible unless you have clown feet, and I'm a size 12.5.
I learned in my Porsche, but the e30 pedalbox is perfect for it. In any case, you bought a piece of sh!t. Just because it's a collectible doesn't mean it's not a piece of sh!t.
a VW Cabrio is a chicks car....this would be their second choiceThat's a total chick car.
what other things are off-limits?Blue, it is really dick to put down another mans car.
what other things are off-limits?
because a car would be far down my list.
if it has a "baby on board" plaque on it, then i would....volvos are solid imo otherwise
I drive a '96 Volvo station wagon. I expect to be made fun of for that.
Nope, nothing like that.if it has a "baby on board" plaque on it, then i would....volvos are solid imo otherwise
Who was it that said "Cars don't understeer. Bad drivers do." ? My R32 would do what I wanted it to and it was stock. You just have to tweak tire pressures and know how the car will react.R32 still understeers like a pig on rollerskates. You try putting a gigantic 6-cyl in a transverse FWD-based econobox and see where it gets you...
...and that's all that matters. Hell, some guy I work with wants to find and fix up a Gremlin of all things. I think he's crazy, but if he likes it then more power to him.I also just really like the car so it is special to me.
Maybe ....but it's ok to to put down a kid's car......Blue, it is really dick to put down another mans car.
blue, you should not cast stones.Heel-toe driving in a Mk4 VW is impossible unless you have clown feet, and I'm a size 12.5.

Does it have a cup holder?

its funny the older ones dont have cup holders. my mom's old S80 had around 9 total cup holders, but no ashtray or cigarette lighterDoes it have a cup holder?
My '91 doesn't, but luckily I have this big ass coffee mug that can be perched on the emergency break without spilling. Beers...I just keep those between my knees. ;0
but i has neither!blue, you should not cast stones.
you just sound like a typical MKIV/e30 owner.
The original GTI was a performer compared to the rest of the bloated garbage of it's day.Well I still disagree with the consensus here - my Rabbit, even before the much larger displacement replacement engine, was no slouch and a kick in the ass to drive. The horsepower may not have matched many on the road but it wasn't needed, the car just didn't weight that much.
The same corning Gs as a Porsche 911SC, but the GTI was 2mph faster thru the slalom
The GTI accelerates from 0 to 60mph nearly a second faster than a 5.0 liter Trans Am four-speed
It's got two that slide out from the center console. And it has an ash tray and cancer stick lighter. Another excellent feature is a bug in the electrical system so that about one time in ten when you turn it on, the engine starts up just fine, but you don't get the speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, turn signals, or low beam headlights. When this happens, the brights mostly work, but the switch that toggles between them and the low beams doesn't, so you have to hold the lever down to keep the brights on. The tachometer, clock, and temperature gauge are all fine. Fortunately, if you wiggle the key in the ignition, all that comes back.Does it have a cup holder?
