I?ve owned a 205D for a while now and want a GTi as well now that i?ve got money. The last petrol I owned was an old x reg (1981) Toyota Starlet 1.3 but I?ve driven a 2l Subaru Legacy and a 1.8l Xantia in the mean time.
These other cars, although faster to 60 and capable of higher speeds don?t feel as powerful as my 205D so I?m worried that I won?t like a GTi. Should I go for the slightly less powerful 1.6 GTi to get used to a powerful petrol again, or go staight for a 1.9? If I should get a
1.6 what years should I go for?Also despite the fact that I?m expecting a large amount of work on the car to get it working well, what should I expect to have to do and what should I look for in terms of problems?
Cheers
