Re: A cage with character
Other then the blindingly obvious what are the differences in the 1.9 and the 1.6?

Re: A cage with character

Re: A cage with character
The main thing about 205 GTIs, it seems, is they're old and not that well made... A good one's ace, but they're pricey, that's one of the options I looked at a while back since I like 'em (with an MI16 motor in it
 ). You can get a decent 206 GTI6 for about the same as a well kept 205 GTI, it seems, so unless you're happy with a sheddy one it's getting a bit tricky. Classic hot hatches etc are starting to get up to silly money, if they're well kept, and if not then some are more restorable than others. It seems to me that the VWs are easier to find in good shape, they were made better than most and often looked after better too. Where's Daimo to sell you a Nova with a red top, or an Astra GTI?

Re: A cage with character
Just be careful of re-badged 1.6's which are made to look like 1.9's...
