Volkswagen Golf Mk I 1.3
(1979 - 1982)
Car articles about Volkswagen Golf Mk I 1.3 by year
Everyone knows it, it became the progenitor of a new class of car, the VW Golf GTI, developed and produced by the Volkswagen company, which until shortly before was known mainly as the builder of the VW Beetle and a few less successful successors. The GTI was able to keep up with many a sports car that was several times more expensive and could easily be used in everyday life. This made it a trendsetter, and its imitators have continued into the modern era. This driving report, illustrated with current and historical images, aims to find out just how good the original introduced 40 years ago was.
The Beetle Cabriolet's fan community would probably have been large enough to give it another 10 years of production, but there were good reasons why the Beetle had to make way for the open-top Golf. And it did a really good job and managed to be built for 14 years with only minor changes. Even today, when almost all Golf Cabriolets are already classic cars, it still manages to impress with its modern virtues. This driver's report is about a late VW Golf Cabriolet and summarizes the 14-year history of the first open Golf generation, extensively illustrated and supplemented with the sales brochure of the time.
