That'll have been the one they replaced in the Gof IV GTI with the 2.0
8v because the 20v didn't have the torque to haul a Golf about properly, wouldn't it?- Vote on answer

It was fairly torquey low down, but slow accelerating when moving, although I did get it to give 34mpg average, and 38 on a really good run.

Add a Subaru Liberty/Legacy turbo to the list and go drive one.

Very tight suspension though. My ex manager had one. Drove it like he stole it for a couple of years then traded it for an S500 with lots of toys. Almost as many as the Celsior.

Really? I'll remember that. I often thought of it as "probably quite a good choice".

The golf is a bit smaller, lighter, and as PeteM told you when you bought it, best not thrashed at higher speed. That engine is a fantastic low speed high torque motor though.
