Used Volkswagen Golf GTI for Sale near Mankato, MN
Though facing stiff competition from other sports compacts in its class at the time, like the Honda S and Ford Escort GT, the Volkswagen GTI is considered the first "hot hatch" to hit the market, combining practicality with performance. Although never as popular as its competitors, it receives rave reviews from past and current owners.
The 1987 Volkswagen GTI gets a new engine, a 16-valve 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder one with a horsepower boost to 123-hp. It means a little lower fuel economy (23/29) but a lot more excitement on the road. The 8-valve 102-hp is also still available. Volkswagen engineering has made the GTI a breeze to handle, with cornering capabilities and wheels glued to the road that give the driver confidence along with a thrill. Good acceleration and maneuverability keep the GTI competitive on the highway.
There is a little body roll and wind noise with the 1987 GTI, say some owners, and the seats and plastic-trimmed interior tend to show their age, but with such easily modifiable and inexpensive parts and an engine that seems destined to outlive any owner, it's easy to see why the GTI is a favorite among owners. Maybe not so cool-looking on the outside, but it's fast, responsive, and a money-saver.

My First car, Bought in 1998 with only 75k on it.. mint condition.. it was red prior to sliver.. I got the door handles shaved, filled the license plate in.. had remote access to open the doors. Ricardo seats, Volkswagen corrado dash, after market accessories etc. 5 speed
Good old cult classic great fun and cheap to run. Just helps if your a bit handy with the spanners for quick repairs. its been good to me the only complaint is its let down by its old body work. rust is a major concern. But over all a cheap super mini of its day!!!
like a gocart, with the sports suspension it handles really good compared to the stock model och Golf GTI. It is also more responsive than the 8V model. Theengine was a bit tricky to take apart and fix due to a seroius breakdown. Cam-belt snapped.
