Now compare that to the mk2 Golf.
Let's not even begin with Lancia Delta hatchback, car had rear multilink in 1979 with road manners that VWs of that era could only dream about.
And 75?. Seriously? One of the most sought after affordable youngtimer today. For a decent, but non restored one, you will pay 5K Euro. And to freshen her another 5K. That will buy you a lot of 80s Passats.
Seriously? Tipo? A plastic car whose dash would disintegrate after 3 years. A lot of [censored] cars won car of the year award.
Mk2 Golf would run on anything. I am definitely not fan of one, would never buy it, I actually hate it. But comparing quality of Golf mk2 and Italians from 80's is like comparing North Korean computer with Apple. 75 is now collection car. That is far different from car that you use on daily basis.
Lol, if you want plastic car that dissolve on itself upon half a decade of use look no further than mk3 Golf.
I just looked at a 07 Passat Comfortline with 190K km , first and only sucker, bought new in Rijeka. Rust on a boot lid, now that's funny. How can a car rust here?
New clutch, DMF, handbrake solenoids, cambelt, rear top mounts and 2500 Euro later all good.
