I had a 92 8 valve Jetta, and an 89 GTX 16valve. I loved my 8v, 16v was a bit of a mess, but that was for due to Digi swap and other mods. I'd love to pick up a mk1 Jetta project. Easily some of the most serviceable cars

Remember when German cars meant reliable and built like a tank. Mk2 was imo the last great Volkswagen. All the German manufacturers started building crap around the early/mid nineties, and it hasn't changed since.

Agreed, 8v had much more personality, felt like diesel levels of torque going up hills
