thinking about buying a 205 gti

can't speak for the M116 but I used to have a 1.9 GTI, absolutley loved it, closest you'll get to a fire breathing go cart, the crackle off the exhaust on the limiter is a beautiful thing..... who needs anti lag when you've a 205 gti... :dance:
 
205 GTI is an icon not to many good ones left, had one a few years back and it was one of the best cars i have ever owned had to sell it as the wife needed a car and as well as having it i had a Golf GTI at the same time so i gave in to her and sold the 205........
 
im sorry i sold my 1st one, worst thing i ever did.
and a 205 is more exclucive than any civic.
iv only seen two on the road ever id say.............maybe some day again when the right one comes along.

what one had you alan?
 
It was a 1.6 version in silver which was kinda rare for here, had a look at a few 1.9s at the time but they wanted stupid money for them, think UK is best way to go for one now.
 
think i payed 3,500 for the 1.6 phase2 i had from a dealer way down past rathmines.
and 1,500 for the 1.9 phase 1.5 from another dealer in dublin.
think i prefered the the 1.6 then, but drove one lately and was impressed with the power.

theres not many on pistonheads at the min. good ones anyway.
 
i have a 205 with a gti6 in it. weighs about two bachelors beancans and has 200bhp, its great fun. but can be a bit soft for someone with a heavy foot. the civic's are pretty much bullet proof :thumbsup:
