  • The Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI and its Clubsport offshoots are loved by almost all South Africans. The GTI badge has massive appeal for enthusiasts but because of this, finding a good one is not an easy task. It's also not exactly easy to find out what sort of problems you should look out for and how to tell whether a GTI or Clubsport has been modified.
    Worry no longer! Guest presenter Francisco Nwamba has everything at hand as a previous owner and salesman for the Golf 7 GTI to make you feel confident in finding your next GTI.

    Rank the Golf throughout its various generations. Here is my list:
    1. Mk 5
    2. Mk 7
    3. Mk 3 (vr6)
    4. Mk 1
    5. Mk 8
    6. Mk 6
    7. Mk 2
    8. Mk 4
    The Golf VR6 is the best variant of the golf but I would like to see you rank them with everything considered whether it be styling, engine, ability to tune, etc.

      It is a good car in terms of looks. Yes this is like redriven, just applied that format to our popular cars in SA. While not inspiring, it's informative and because I look for info from videos like this and not inspiration, I think it's great.
