Speeed’s take
The first GTI on American shores: red-trimmed grille, fuel injection, stiffer suspension and a close-ratio box in a sensible, stylish little body. It beat a 5.0 Trans Am in period testing while costing $1,200 less.
“The GTI became the poster car for hot hatches. It showed the world that a little tiny car could have it all.”
