The Volkswagen GTI The Volkswagen GTI is an awesome compact sports car. It is a quick car that is made to handle good. I own a 1998. GTI's have been made since 1983. Here are some information of earlier models.
The
All of the Information I gathered on this page was from the International GTI Website. The Pocket Rocket |
The MK1Rabbit The MK1 was first
introduced in America in 1983. It was made to be very reliable, and to
handle well. The MK1 body (mark one) was in production from 1983 until
1986. It is personally one of my favorite generations of GTI's
The
Mk2 GTI The MK2 was in
production from 1987 until 1993. This car came with either a 8 valve or 16
valve 4 cylinder engine. This particular car is hard to find anymore in
America, however the MK2 is still frequently used in Europe. 
MK3 GTI The MK3 was
a large step for GTI's, because it was now available with Volkswagens VR6
engine. The VR6 was specifically redesigned to fit inside a GTI, and gave
it 174 horsepower stock, giving it the name "The Pocket Rocket".
The
MK4 GTI The MK4
came out in late 1999, and is known as the "new body style". You
can get this car in the VR6 engine, or in a 4 cylinder turbo charged 1.8 liter
engine. the 2002 Models of the GTI can come with a Tiptronic
semi-automatic transmission, or in a new 6 speed gear box. The 2002 GTI is
one of my favorite cars out there right now besides the AUDI S4.
