VW Golf GTi MK2 // REVIEW & 0-100 in 9.xx

[@StefBelgium]

Back in the days, when you had a car capable of doing a no to 100 km/h below 10s, you had a serious sport car 😂😂😂😅😅

I had a gti golf exactly like that and the same color in the 90's and oh boy it was a fast little car. I would be happy if I got a mk2 gti golf now because they have that character and they are cars of the time without any pointless traction control and stabilization systems that limit how you use the car.

[@shaolinGungfu-m2w]

People have to much today, tech has made us slaves. This wouod be perfect with 300 bhp turn 4 wheel drive.

[@rickjames6867]

Even today it is more fun to drive a low HP car, fast than it is to drive a high HP car, slow. Cars like these will always be desirable because of this. You can use and abuse them to your hearts content while saving on fuel, maintenance and possible speeding tickets.

[@nicolash.134]

No way, AutotopNL testing a mk 2 GTI ! Mk2 owner here, always a pleasure to start my mk2's and go for a drive ! Better daily (and cheaper) than a mk1, and more fun to drive than a mk3. Love this generation !

I always thought MK 2 of Golf is the gem of all Golf series and 1,8 Gti 112 ps engine without cat. I had that engine in a MK2 1984 Scirocco. In real traffic conditions was the fuel economy vs performance mix better than many of the newer cars I owned. Except the diesels I have owned.

My father had Golf 2 GTI 140PS, it was considered beast back in the days.

[@bustjanzupan1074]

Exactly, and 5 of my frends had the same one, and with a direct exhaust , opened air filter box, and some ignition pre-timing it can very easily be achieved 160 hp, - which was an Incredible Blast 4 those times !!! 😀 But, one of my friends putted aturbine onto it, making 320+Hp , and was Very Succesfull at drag racing with making that Torque at lowe weight 😀 It spun tires in gears like nothing 😀

It's crazy to see just how much the Golf has grown in size over time :D

This was one of my absolute favorite "reasonably priced cars" during the 80's. This and the 205 GTI. Love oldschool hot hatches. 😍

Yes, and add a Golf 2 Gti-16 V , Uno Turbo, Renault 5 Gt Turbo, Fiat Ritmo, Renault 5 Alpine/Turbo 😀

😂 pure nostalgie dit Mijn vader was een bmw man, zeg maar e28 e34 tijd en mijn oompie (broer van mijn moeder) had toen in de jaren '80 2x een GTI 16v precies zoals deze in het rood. De "ruzies" toen over auto's tussen die 2 toen ze nog ongeveer 35 jaar oud waren, zou je nu op een VHS videoband moeten hebben.

Max you forgot that in the last few years of production there was a 2.0 16v version with a 150 PS engine which was later installed in the Golf GTI Mk III. ;-) PS Owned Mk I 1.6 110 PS/81 kW; Mk III 2.0 8v; Mk V DSG Stage II >250 PS.

You absolutely earned my respect for this video!!!

[@schalkvandermerwe3838]

From everyone I know that has ever owned a Mk1 and a Mk2, they'll tell you what a big leap the Mk2 feels like in terms of ergonomics, but mostly quality. I miss all the material choices from bakc then. Now it's just damn grey and black almost everywhere.

Спасибо за обзор на данный автомобиль! У меня GOLF 2 GTI 8v 112hp EV 1984 года выпуска....Эта машина очень интересная и при этом простая и достаточно быстрая. Я езжу на нём каждый день на работу и по делам. Очень люблю его и все окружающие очень обращают на него внимание. Спасибо.😃

[@R8andGT3Fan]

More old cars? Yay! Great review, as always!

[@autobahnproven]

Agreed! Very exciting retro review, in stark contrast to your one on the Audi washing machine. Owned several Mk2 G60 GTis - such awesome cars!

[@08mrstream]

I had an 86 mark II 1.6, 75 hp it made around 165 km/h, but when I went to a 93 mark III 1.8 inj with 90 hp it could easily do 200 km/h, that 90 hp was later in magazines tested to deliver over 100 hp

[@F1ZZY-M140I]

Classic cars. 🔥

ik heb echt bijna 10 jaar lang met een 8klepper gti gereden(en nog meer type2 gehad)en wat kon die auto leuk brullen,ik had een 288 nokkenas en een powerrohr met een jamex schuimfilter.was echt een feest om mee te rijden. echter heb ik nu een bmw 335 diesel en dat is nog veel leuker :P

The Golf 2 GTI and Golf 3 GTI VR6 are way better than the modern cars.

[@andraslorincz8099]

Please do a video with a Corolla GT. The first gen was around 800 kilos with a 124HP 4A-GE engine. The second gen was about a 100 kilos heavier, but the engine got only slightly more powerful (125-130HP depending on the market). I've got a Corolla hatchback 12vSR version, wich have been engine swapped with a 2nd gen 4A-GE. So basically it have the best from the first 2 generations. Lighter chassis, and a more powerful engine. It does 0-100 around 8 seconds wich is not half bad for a 40 years old car IMO. And also because of it's lightness and low center of gravity, it is extremely good around corners. So I'm curious what would you think about it

[@dominathor]

It has a red accent on the bumpers too.

Car Wow put a Mk1 and Mk2 Golf GTI against the Mk 3 GTI and the Mk1 and 2 were faster , also they are faster than the first Mk4 GTI which had a terrible 2 litre 115bhp engine from a VW Beetle lol thats why VW after getting complaints had to change the engine to the 1.8 turbo from the TT

[@urosb82]

Correction, Mk4 GTI always had 1,8L turbo. Mk3 was 2L 8v 115hp and 16v 150hp.

[@mikeypv6]

​@urosb82 the mk4 GTi came with a 1.8 20v NA 125hp or 1.8T 20v 150hp or 180 and also the old mk3 2.0 8v 115hp

My twingo from 2001 only had 75 hp 105 nm stock, changed exhaust only, and chipped to 90 hp and 130 nm, and now i can say i am faster than a GTI lol🤣 it's really quick, tho, good sleeper, have stock wheels but wider tires my plate : 92-HT-PX

[@pitata_official]

DO VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN PLSSS THE OLD MODEL

[@RonMaclaren]

In wich year was born this car?

[@blippie]

Hmmm 9.3 secs? Imho i never had the feeling it ever was faster than ca. 10.5 secs and none of the official acceleration tests back in the 80s and 90s the results were ever better. 9.3 secs would suit the 112hp better. I have owned a 1988 GTI 8v 112hp (import) and 1991 107hp Edition One (import) as well as a 1991 GTI G60 Edition One (original Dutch registry!) back in the mid/late 90s. Eventhough a lovely car especially in Edition One trim, the 107hp was performancewise a bit of a disappointment even compared to the 112hp which had a bite the 107hp simply lacked. The G60 (standard 160hp and not fucked up) was another ballgame, but was especially quick in 60-100 and 80-120km/h accelerations due to the high and relatively quickly available torque.

[@calvinallan2208]

When will you guys drive the new ZO6. Its long over due guys😅

Sounds better than 90 percent of opf cars today 😂 that exhaust sounds fruity and better than a45s 🤣🤣 Love the simplicity and basic levels, cars are way to over complicated with there Apple tech crap in the car.
