..it's always so funny to these threads.... let's see a mnodel comaprison... "bad handeling compared to what...?"
A 1980 Golf I diesel 1300 vs similar period Corvette or a similar period Chevy Caprice?
I mean while a 198911 was a failry decent car overall - the 1980 Golf 1300 sucked donkey balls - just like the 1980 Chevy Caprice.
Don't even try talk abouit the 1980 Ford Escort - or the 1980 1100cc Fiat etc etc.
Let's fast forward to 2004 - a base Golf III sucks just as badly as a base Chevy Malibu Maxx... I have recently compared the 2.
Now let's compare the 2004 911 Turbo and the 2004 Z06... pretty close comparison isn't it.
The Europeans ALWAYS compare Euro-sporty cars against American comfy-cruisers of entry level cheap crap.
Let's go look at a 1955 V8 1955 Chevy sedan vs a 1955 Opel Kapitan/Rekord - you will be shocked to know by how far the 1955 Chevy would obliterate the the Opel.
In 1/4 mile, top end and handeling.
Anyway - pointless argument.
