mike.swarbrick Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My sis' went to Botswana not too long ago and travelled round SA for a bit. She had a hire car that was a mint mark 1 GTi. They said not to go off road in it, but SA's roads aren't exactly smooth!Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

minxy Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 IIRC these aren't EXACTLY the same as the original MK1s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyCD Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 IIRC these aren't EXACTLY the same as the original MK1sYes thats the whole idea. Over the years they've facelifted it, such as 2006 Skoda Fabia interior, updated lights front and back etc. Hence its called the CitiGolf and not Golf Just like the Lotus Carlton, to look at was just a Cav but a different heart powering it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
