No sure if it falls into this question but I owned a 84' Rabbit GTI and it was my first "new" car purchase. It eventually got into a small curb accident and bent the lower a-arm. Not a whole lot but enough. I didn't really like the interior that much and it was bought only because my Mustang caught on fire!!!! I eventually traded it in after getting the lower a-arm straigthened, for an 86' GTI.

In retrospect, I now wish I could have kept the 84' Rabbit GTI. With a few modifications to the engine, it would be faster than most cars today given it's power to weight ratio with a Calloway turbo-charger... and I do miss having the inside tire take a turn in the air!
