You have probably read a lot about the Golf 7 lately. More notably, the imminent arrival of the GTI variant. CAR magazine has always featured road tests of the hottest hatches, not just from Volkswagen, but from all manufacturers. South Africa is a loyal hatch-buying public and we do love the performance models. Back in 1991 we put the flagship Golf GTI through its paces; the “big bumper” version as it was then known among enthusiasts.
The 2,0-litre 16v model sold for a princely R63 230 – less than the cheapest new car on sale in SA today. The 110 kW model scooted to 100 km/h in 9,32 seconds and topped out at a true 208 km/h. Back then we commended its handling abilities as well as its refinement.
