Golf GTI Question

[dub1]

hi all. i ask this because i am usually hanging around the mk1s so it may seem silly, but...oh well.

are the standard MK2 Golf GTI's turbos or not as i may be buying one and need to know as i can;t drive a turbo on p's...

thanks,
tom.

no never had a turbo, only mk4 and up and mk3 tdi.

No they dont, the closest thing are the mk2 g60's who run a supercharger...

Great car for a P plater I reckon...

safe and slow :p

I would have loved a MkII on my P's...

[dub1]

ok thanks guys.

safe and slow...i hope not

yeah they seem to be fairly agile cars...light weight with a fair bit of power...

thanks,
tom.

I would have loved a MKII as my first car!!

Should be a fairly good car to learn your basic mechanicals on and you have the great website here to use for all your handy info!

I started on a 1974 beetle, which was a mix of good and bad!!

just think wet roads, rear engined rear wheel drive on P plates.. mmmmm

[dub1]

hahaha. well hes not 100% sure what price he want or if hes 100% going to selling it. finger crossed.

thanks,
tom.

I know EXACTLY what you mean xD

i was lucky enough to get one as my 2nd car. well i am still on my p's but i sold my old bmw to upgrade to a GTi.
Mostly in regards to fuel consumption.
But i would never classify a gti as slow. If i managed to lose my licence doing 170kmh. i wouldnt call that slow (that was still not pushing the car). And safe, i wouldnt know, never had an accident. but the greatest car to be in on your P's.
even after that you wont give it up

hahaha all good to hear
