Best VW Hatch

[ludeness321]

I want a VW hatchback, I love the looks. I know that they are extremely reliable, cheap insurance, good gas mileage, and lots of available mods. The ones that I know about that I like are the Golf I (mid-80's), Golf II (late-80's), Golf III (early and mid-90's), Golf IV's (late 90's), 2003 20th anniversary Golf, any Golf GTI, Rabbit GTI (non diesel or electric, non covertible) and Lupo GTI's, but those are rarely seen in the U.S. If there are any other hatchbacks, non-VW that kick ass please specify. Please reply, and thank you for information, Auto Forums is the best car site on the web.

There are a lot of good hatchbacks, and the Golf is one of them. I think the Civic hatchback is better, but that's just me.

What about the R32, 25th Anniversary Golf, or the GTi 337?

[DinanM3_S2]

yea, definitly cant forget the R32, best hatch ever

[Polygon]

I really happen to like the Corrado.

[Mike (M3)]

i agree with polygon.

its fkin quick, the only reason people didnt buy loads of them when they came out was because they were too expensive.

now they are cheap, and you get a damn good car for the money.

edit: the vr6 version im talkin about...

Lancia Integrale Evo is far, far superior.



Best performance Golf is mk2 Gti

Agreed, the Golf V is the only Golf that has managed to touch the Mk2's handling capabilities after all these years, says a lot really.


The best VW hatch is probably still the R32, just for the engine.

[ludeness321]

dude, the R32 is like $25,000 at least. I'm not made of money, and this is my first car. Plus, I could think of a billion cars I could get for that much money, that would cream an R32.

Beetle.

[flylwsi]

the funny thing is that you've only got 2 gti's listed.
what about an mk2 gti, with the 16v engine?
or swap a vr6 in it .

the best vw hatches are not GL models, they're GTi's.
you should include those in this comparo of yours.

yeah v-dubs take a ton of up keep, it dont know why but they do. anyway my vote is for the corrado, that thing is just a bad ass.

[Rakshas]

Corrado. The only other I would consider is the r32.

[ludeness321]

R32 is a pointless car, 25,000-30,000 for a fukin hatch, get real. I do agree, about the Corrado. Those things are bad ass I am buyin soon.
