After its unceremonious and unexplained exit from the U.S. Golf in 1993, the GTI came roaring back in a big way for the 1995 model year. Sure, it was bigger, bulkier and well鈥oundier, but it came with a bunch more gusto thanks to the addition of the VR6 motor as seen in the Corrado and Passat models. The single-overhead cam, twelve valve head lacked the race-bred feel of the Mk.II 16V, the new motor more than made up for it with the addition of two more cylinders. Good for 172 horsepower and 173 lb.ft of torque, it swept the hot hatch from 0-60 in 7.1 seconds and produced a 15.5 second quarter mile at over 90 mph. But much like the original, the GTI was more than the sum of its numbers, with drivers enjoying the great 6-cylinder soundtrack which accompanied the waves of usable torque. Of course, like all VWs from the period, it was expensive.
20 grand. Yet that was still only a little more than half the money it would take you to grab a same-year M3, which offered only a bit more motivation and cornering prowess. Catch the pesky BMW driver off-guard, and they鈥檇 be unlikely to easily out-drag you. So you could either look at this model as a really expensive Golf or a really cheap BMW.

Ginster Yellow is the shade to have, and were it me this is pretty much exactly the spec I鈥檇 want. Truth told, I鈥檇 have a slight preference for the DE and that special interior to match, but some 20 years on from production finding one in this shape is quite difficult.
