Another dubber here, had a 1991 SCCA SSB 16V GTI, then a minty-fresh '90 small bumper 16V GLi (sold it 2 weeks ago with under 57k on the clock), and a 2000 1.8T Passat (great car, fast, but the car's legs were too long to stretch legally!). Fully agree with your A2 commentary, was the best handling VW IMHO though was noisy and not as reliable as it could be... mica black MSP #1108 now, and happy as can be. I miss the Vortex crowd, I go back and say hey every so often tho. Welcome!
