How many counts of 205GTi are there in that list
Nice to know I drive one of the best Hot hatches of all time.
The torque steer isnt too bad in the dry, dunno what the car is like in the wet yet though, prolly spins like a b**ch. The guy that owned it previously said itd spin through 1st, 2nd and into 3rd
Awesome handling even with standard ride height, but very on the edge and you just know its not going to warn you before it turns all nasty and kills you
Loads of instant power though, but it does run out of steam at 5000+rpm, but that may be due to the 1.6 box in mine.
All in all its an extremely hyperactive beastie, that reminds you of what cars were like to really drive before ABS, TC, Airbags and any safety really, very old skool and very good fun!
My list of top five hatches would have to be...
1. Pug 205 GTi (A legend, used to be talked about in hushed voices)
2. R5GTT (Stupid idea to Turbo a tincan and its what true hothatches are all about.)
3. 172 (Loads of power and refinement too)
4. VTR/VTS (Superb cars to drive, the VTS has so much wallop for a 1.6 and the VTR although slower is damn good to drive and nicely balanced, like the 1.9 and 1.6 Pug I guess.)
5. MK1 Golf GTi (The granddaddy that started it all, nuff said)
