Used Volkswagen Golf GTI for Sale near Streamwood, IL
No changes for the 1989 Volkswagen GTI, a sports hatchback that is more about performance and less about utility. Even though it seats four and has an adequate trunk for cargo, owners love the GTI's incredible zip and racer attitude.
You still have your choice of either an 8-valve, 4-cylinder, 1.8 liter, 105-hp engine in the standard hatch or the 16-valve, 1.8-liter, 123-hp engine in the 1989 GTI. Both give you great performance and acceleration, though the 16V will give you a lot more bang. The GTI never came with many standard features, but the Recaro racing seats provide added support up front, and the tachometer is handy on the dash. For a little extra, you can get air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a sunroof.
Though not as good as the Golf, the 1989 GTI gets decent gas mileage, at 23/29 mpg, making it a street racer for the budget-conscious. Parts, though sometimes hard to find, are relatively inexpensive, which means it is a popular tuner car. Owners love how little they have to spend on the GTI, but the main attraction is an engine that is both powerful and durable, able to take a constant beating and still deliver optimal performance.
4.3 Overall rating
(18 reviews)This one was a 1989 16 valve version. It's a very fun car for sporty drives on twisty roads. It's not fast by today's standards but decent anyways. Maintenance costs next to nothing as parts are cheap and consumption is ok. But like so many 80's cars most have turned into rust. Finding one today that isn't completely rotten will be challenging.
Performance - good acceleration, excelent bracking and awesome handling Build Quality - No repairs needed, excelent car Appearance -Totally OEM, exterior and interior Cost - gas aprox 11 km/l maintenance low cost Fun Factor - really comfortable and sport car for drive, awesome
Absolutly great. Bought from a desperate Aussie. Had been nicely pimped with a very loud stereo, looked how all mk2 golf gti's should look. Black, lowed on deep dish16s, slightly tinted windows, factory big body kit, vr6 exhaust and green air filter, nice.
performacne- 115bhp, 0-60 8 secs build quality- good, little rust appearance- sexual! cost of ownership- good mpg at around 40mpg on motorways but will drink like a fish when you hoof it! fun factor- unreal! lovely old skool rumble, and ace to drive. will see off most modern "hot hatches" :)
Cams\chipped\exhaust\light fly wheel....this car makes some nice power, lots of TQ. Also the 60\40 kit makes it handle very nice around the twisties...not like the 83\84 GTI, but close. Also, there is a whole culture with VW owners, they have clubs, and meetings that revolve around any Volkswagen, from air-cooled to water. The interior has the stock Recaro bucket seats, this was the best inititive by VW. The brakes are full disc all the way around...instant stop with stock brakes. The cost of ownership is decently low, as long and you have a parts car XD
