I owned a white GTI from the first series with the 1.6l engine and 4speed manual. Till today I have found no other car that was so much fun to drive like the little GTI, by today standarts it is slow.. but it was a pleasure to drive, unfortunatly a drunk woman with here BMW drove into my parked GTI.
