Fitting a six-cylinder engine to a humble hatchback used to be a shortcut to greatness. We salute the fallen.
Feeling brave? Go have a look on PH for how much a Mk4, three-door Golf R32 might cost. Yes, it really is that much. If you can find one with a five-figure mileage for less than £15k, you’re doing better than us. And yet the Audi equivalent is a third of the price - a third!
Still, it looks a bargain. It’s weird to discuss the Audi that lacks brand cachet, but there’s no doubting the popularity accrued by R-badged Golfs in the UK over the past 20 years. It’ll even have limited appeal to Audi folk, without an S badge to mark it out, let alone an RS3 one - this is years before that car, even though it eventually arrived in this ‘8P’ era.
And if those two factors aren’t enough, this one has a six-speed manual gearbox as well. If not quite perfect cosmetically, this 1 Series has had some recent mechanical work and a service with its most recent MOT. No better thing to remind you of how BMWs - and the odd hot hatch curio - used to be.Something more exotic to finish off with, as there’s no way a list like this would be complete without the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA. .
