Before his rebuild VW had it for a week
testing it and it went through 2.5L which makes a Rotary look efficient.
It would be fair to say I have had 5 cars in the last 5 years. The Golf is by far the most refined. It doesn't punch you in the face like the MPS, not as raw / fun as my DC2, more comfortable then my VE and reminds me of my WRX. I think it really combines the best features of the MPS, Integra and WRX.
It is a really really nice car, hasn't really aged in regards to technology and styling. Stock suspension and tune leaves you wanting more but my H&R progressive springs and the tune will solve that for now... but there is a big aftermarket following worldwide so parts are easy to get and not overly expensive by European standards.
The biggest thing for me was I wanted a car that handled great, has power potential with the stock engine / gearbox, big aftermarket following, less cop attention and turbo. So the Golf was amongst the ST Focus, XR5 Focus, etc.
