I know I'll get flak from this but:
The Jetta GLI actually handles better than the GTI. The extra weight(not
much)over the rear wheels makes it understeer less(or oversteer more). this
is something I read in either VW Sport Tuning or WaterCooled performance
Handbook. The acceleration times are not much different, it would probably
come down to the driver's skill level, rather than the car's performance.

Hi folks,
Yesterday I went down to a local VW used car shop (or should I say
pre-owned) to
see a black 91 GTI 16V they had, but it had been sold on Monday. One of
the
buyers told me they're getting a mint (which also happens to be the color -
Mint
Green) '92 GLI next Tuesday. According to the guy, this car is owned by an
older lady, who drives it that way, and they've always serviced it. He
said
they've been after this car for a while because it's in excellent shape. My
question is, Is there a noticeable loss in performance due to the extra
weight?
And, How much heavier is the GLI than the GTI? I prefer the looks the
GTI's,
but if this car is as clean as they say, I think I'm buying it. I know
I'll be
test driving it, so I'll know what the performance differences are, if any,
but
I wanted some opinions from you guys. Really can't wait 'till Tuesday.
Sorry
for the length of this, but it's kinda slow today anyway.
