Diesel, right? I had an 85 golf diesel my parents got when I was 12. It ended up being mine for college and grad school. 250,000 miles. Had to get rid of it because of an oil leak that had soaked the entire front suspension and would have been too much money. I bought a 1998 VW TDI and it was the best car. Got rid of it at 270,000 miles. It needed too much work. It killed me to get rid of it.

This one's a petrol. 1.8 90hp. I had a golf 2 td aswell. True the gas mileage is incredible, but it lacked a bit of power here on mountain roads. Gf has a 2002 1.9 tdi. 250k km 130hp and 6 speed trans. Beast of a little car (torque wise) and awfully economic aswell.
