1982 vs 2011, They have come a long way.

[Knox]

1982 Mk1 Diesel Rabbit (Golf) next to a brand new 2011 MK6 TDI Golf, it had less then 1000 miles on it in this picture.
Both are sunroof, mid range, 4 door, diesel cars that get about the same mpg.

One also has to remember that the Mk6 has 140 hp where the Mk1 has only around 50 hp

I would rather have the 82! :p I love old cars. Especially those old diesels, they are so easy to work on... or so I hear. I'd rock one no doubt.
