Volkswagen presented the first-generation Golf as a modern front-wheel-drive, long-range replacement for the Volkswagen Beetle. Later Golf variations included the Golf GTI "hot hatch" (introduced in June, 1976), a Diesel-powered version (from September, 1976), the Jetta notchback saloon version (from October, 1979), the Golf Cabriolet (from January, 1980) and a Golf-based pickup, the Volkswagen Caddy.
The Golf Mk1 was sold as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada and as the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico.
A facelifted version of the Golf Mk1 was produced in South Africa as the Citi Golf from 1984 to 2009
Even if the car is a regular little compact - hatchback car, there's nothing really like it. When I started looking into it, I liked it because it was totally different and even the Original Golf Hubcaps had given it some flavor. It's one of the few cars that's great on gas and very, very stylish - or that's what I think.
I think that the only thing with this car is that since the engine it has it's so strong for a small car, you can see it in how fast your gas wastes - so if you like driving fast, try to just try slow or just look at getting another car.
If you were to ask a car expert, they'd probably say that the car is fun and easy to drive. Since the car has so many options compared to a typical hatchback, that's what made it stand out the most.
