        Well my best friend’s mom had an 80’s Rabbit Diesel. His dad tuned it for economy, which meant it did 0-60mph in something under a week. We would have killed for something like a GTi.

      *American cars. My 80s civic was amazing, it had auto fuel shutoff during deceleration to lower gas consumption, bucket seats, sliding height seat belts in door pillar ( now standard on cars), adjustable steering, and a turning radius so tight you could do a Uturn on a regular road. The only thing that was a bit quirky was if you decelrated a lot then hit the gas hard coming out of a corner, the sudden refueling of the engine sometimes made it a bit wild when the power hit.
