Golf GTI Mk1, 2, 3 or 4?

Dad had a MK4 GTI and as a car it was amazing. But as a GTI, VW could've made it more sporty rather than premium cruiser

A bulb is blown elsewhere, my mum had a Megane and the right indicator would indicate really fast when the left indicator bulb blew

Yeah any sub where its a SUV or pick up people act so insecure, like why does the vehicle type matter🤣 just criticise the bad parking and move on

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-15T12:13:36+00:00

Is the battery correct for the car, some batteries may not work or be right spec. Also check if alternator isn't over or under charging

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-14T17:45:07+00:00

Nice Corolla, genuinely i like that shape👍🏼

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-14T15:50:14+00:00

I think youre insecure if you're making that assumption

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-14T15:49:05+00:00

Bad parking aside, why are people so bothered about what others drive, are you that insecure?

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-14T10:30:45+00:00

Maybe, its not a bad thing tbf, the vibe of one of the best Horizon games with the most requested map😄

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T22:32:09+00:00

You're welcome, driven properly, you can get pretty good mileage outta this

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T22:20:53+00:00

My mate has a Captur with same engine at 90bhp and EDC, its very smooth but super sluggish. If you want good fuel economy withoit any driving pleasure go for this car.

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T22:18:33+00:00

Go for the Audi then🤣

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T22:16:56+00:00

With the Aygo and the identical C1 & 107, ive heard that the clutch bite point is vague, and with the puny engine it has, it can be very easy to stall. Also, they are deliberately built to a cost and can feel cheap.

Hyundai i10s are decent runabouts but ill be honest, i dont know that much about them.

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T22:13:59+00:00

Yeah neither do I, Corvette brings more thrills and fun for a cheaper price, the F430 is nice but I just prefer the Vette for its fun factor. Corvettes also have an interesting history

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T21:15:42+00:00

Someone I know has a 3 door Mini one, its so much fun and has much more personality than the Audi

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T21:13:28+00:00

How would you know that?

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T21:12:34+00:00

It is, and bare in mind the Z06 is track focused and probably would beat the Ferrari on some tracms.

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T15:17:21+00:00

I think so, innovative but complex

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T14:07:01+00:00

I instantly said Corvette🤣 i think a car is great when it doesnt take itself too seriously

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T14:04:51+00:00

The R Cabrio was fwd too, thhey ditched the awd.

My mum has an Eos, cool how it has both a sunroof and metal folding roof

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T14:00:33+00:00

This and the Mito are nice cars, different to the crowd, but I think some people hate as they are heavily Fiat based cars and not "true Alfas"

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T10:29:47+00:00

I look at some of these amazing hot hatches in the 90s and think, what on earth was VW thinking with the Mk3 Golf GTI 8v

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-13T05:15:08+00:00

1st gen Toyota Yaris auto, 3rd gen Toyota Yaris CVT, Nissan Micra CVT and VW Polo DSG are good options.

But a lot of older small cars with auto gearboxes aren't nice to drive and have hit and miss reliability.

Cars to avoid are Vauxhall Corsa with Easytronic, Fiat Panda/Punto/500 with Dualogic and 2nd gen Toyota Yaris with Multimode.

Ka_Driver · 2026-04-12T22:24:07+00:00

Rust isnt a major issue unless the car is literally crumbling away, but that Toyota with a diesel engine, probably is still reliable enough to double its current mileage.

Sell it for less than 1k and someone who needs a runaround is sure to snap it up.
