MPG
Having fallen in love with the MK1 Cabriolet in my youth, I am now looking at buying one.
My main criteria is to find one which is absolutely bog standard with no distasteful mods.
However, I am unsure which model to get? does anyone know MPG for the GTI vs 1800 vs 1600 please?
Thanks
Will

I actually found the 1800 GTI the most economical oddly enough, as it has the most power, and thus needs less throttle to maintain a good speed.
Cheers,
Drew.

We did once get 41 mpg - but that was SOOOOOOOO boring and frustrating !!!!
Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

Very happy with that!!!
