Still on the road today and ever changing since 1976 is the Volkswagen Golf GTI. This car was first introduced to the states as the rabbit and the GTI tag later became a trim level available on the VW Golf. Now in its 5th version the VW GTI has come to be known as the original hot hatch. Although today the GTI is less of a spartan and lightweight car to be tossed about and much more of a refined fully loaded vehicle it still has roots deep in the original. 1000 bucks if you know where to look. For this profile I will be focusing on the older models that can be found for cheap (and in my opinion are the best looking) Which is mainly going to be versions MKI and MKII but who knows? You may come across an MKIII that is in need of some work for cheap.
What makes these cars All-Stars is a fairly simple formula. A small light weight design with a performance minded suspension that is simple but effective. Combine this with a simple but fun and effective 4 cylinder and a front wheel drive layout and you have a car that anybody can push to its limits. Most older GTI's are going to be in 2.0 8v form but the much more desirable versions have 16v engines with a lot more breathing capability. Like most tuner favorites the GTI has a unique ability to take on a large or small amount of mods and still provide lots of fun. If your budget permits a popular swap in the lighter and older models can be to use modern hardware such as 1.8t and VR6 engines. Check out almost any shape or form of motor sport and your likely to see an old GTI in the pack. A quick reminder for those in the hunt for an old GTI they come in various levels from bone stock to heavily modified and depending on your purposes and budget this can greatly effect your decision. 1000 dollars in great running shape, but unfortunately the numbers are becoming smaller by the day so if you want one start looking and don't wait!
