[DubSteve]

WTF!!! Don't know what to say kind of puzzled :?

[MattyT]

The combination of old exterior and thoroughly modern interior is just too jarring for me.

ohhh yeeaaaa... Citi Golf... and weird interior design, too!

Citi R-Line with 1.8 90kW.

Interior is stolen from the Skoda Fabia ;)

quote from the article:

"In short, the little Citi R is a dinosaur, but at the price it’s a great starter buy for a cash-strapped youngster who is looking for a performance car that’s fun to drive and reliable to boot."

isnt that the point? retarded my arse! if you've never owned a mk1, you cant understand it. i mean owned to, not just driven. its like the GTI all over again.... a modern gti isn't the same car as the old one, its got leather, a/c, its comfy, quiet and sophisticated - insanely fast. everything the original wasn't.

the fun is in the fact that there is not abs and power steer, there is a lot of noise, its quick and fun, owns everything on the corners, and you can take it on the crappest dirt roads and give it a fang without fear of a scratch or voiding warranty with mods.

theres my rant.... ahhhhh....

A Retard is a person with slowed mental or physical development. Not sure if i would apply this to a car :?

[DubSteve]

Don't like it doesn't appeal to me thats my 2c.

[benissatan]

i like it. yeah it looks pretty hot. not to sure in the interior...

[DUBING]

i think its pretty cool.. ahah 90kw in a MK1, should pull its weight well!:)

looks a little to tacky to me......
trying to make a classic old style car look modern just doesnt work IMO.
