    Bought one. Traded my R in for it. Couldn´t be more happy. GTI CS is much lighter on its feet, and more engaging than the R. Much rather have this than the slight extra kick out of corners in the R. Cheers

    This made me very emotional because the GTI is what made me a car guy. The GTI has shaped who I am and the things that I do. I still have my first GTI and I am never letting her go because there is a type of soul these cars have, you love them and they love you back, even when you aren't driving them. If you haven't driven any GTI, please do yourself a favor and hop in one.

    +1.. Driving down memory lane ... MY83 GTI silver metallic over blue red striped bucket seats.. The car stereo thief's in mid-town NYC hit the GTI more times than can be remembered. Ski rack on top, GTI headed north,,, Killington, Vermont here we come... Gotta luv the GTI ... 1.8l 115hp, Close ratio 5sp, 7"x14" alloys with P7's ...
    inside rear wheel up in the air as what looks like a 3-wheel circus act ....

    Love the one you're with. The Mk 1's I roll an '85 Golf Diesel in the summertime (garaged for winter). It's minty awesome with a new interior, suspension and top end, and another 200k miles to reliably take me anywhere I choose to go. Oh, and 55 MPG if you nurse it over the mountains and stick to 55 MPH. You can get there, in just 20 seconds haha, 21.6 to 60 mph.
    As you can see in the video, it's just fun. Fun to have been able to update the fuel lines and some bits myself, fun to see how many miles per gallon you get on a trip, fun to pack in 2 mountain bikes and 2 road bikes and a cooler, or some snowboards. It's my 53 HP RV, with Euro handling (no back seat/cover).

    Great video paying homage to the Mk1. Thanks for sharing. Had mine since 1988 and still great fun to drive and own. Never heard late Mk1s ever called a Mk 1.5, although the facelifted Mk3 Cabriolet was referred to the Mk 3.5 as it was a Mk3 shell with Mk4 headlamps grafted on. Latest Golfs have grown so much that the Up GTI and Polo GTI probably more closely align to the original.

    There's nothing inside the cabin to tell us it's not 1976 either :P, Henry looks like he's stuck back in time with that turtle/glasses combo. The editor was especially on his game with this video.
    I'd really like to see James May do a guest video or two, I feel like he really has a lot more to give than The Grand Tour allows.

    • @jeffskillman9275
      @jeffskillman9275 3 роки тому

      The dashboard, instrumentation, steering wheel and seats (i.e. the whole interior) on this 1983 Campaign is nothing like that if a 1976 GTI as it was revised from 1980. The 1976 model has tartan seats, twin tunnelled dials and a gorgeous 3 spoke alloy steering wheel.

    Note: Those are not the MK1 GTi Pirelli rims 5:30 / 6:56 but rather MK2 GTi. Notice the P cutout is larger than the original and the space between the Ps is greater.

    @djolecar88 7 років тому

    The balance! I finally found the word that best describes my affinity for my B5 Passat. By the way, he says 260 bhp, the standard GTI has 210 bhp. Is that extra hp on the Clubsport Edition?

    • @MirrorSlaps
      @MirrorSlaps 7 років тому

      djolecar88 yes, the clubsport gets a power bump to 260hp and the clubsport s has a little more then 300hp.
