Is a 40 HP VW Mk1 Golf Diesel Even Fun to Drive?!
Hey guys! So this is one of the lowest horsepower vehicles we've ever driven here on Roads Untraveled and also one of the slowest. Does that mean it's not fun to drive?! Absolutely not. With the original 1.5L diesel engine under the hood, this gorgeous little VW Mk1 Golf (Rabbit as it was named here in Canada) is fully capable of providing endless laughs and a surprisingly engaging driving experience. Enjoy!
GREAT REVIEW of one of my very favourite all time best first car ever!
As I was in college, it was a dream to get myself a Rabbit, diesel, but in the end I ended up with the famous Toyota Tercel instead! Awesome choice of music too by the way.
Namaste :)
Thank you I appreciate the feedback
Awesome :)
The VW rabbit diesels were super reliable and had crazy fuel econ.
0-60 mph in 10 minutes... Not bad for what they were though. I never knew they were rated at 40 hp.
It is definitely a fun little car and with fuel efficiency better than a smart car what else could you ask for :-P
I've become recently a big fan of small cars. I'm quite fond of my Fiat 500.
I regularly log about 44-45 mpg, its rated @ 100 hp and with the standard transmission I have no problem passing on interstates. It's like a street legal go cart and takes up about as much space as one!
A real blast to drive on curvy rural roads.
Some of the earlier cars have low horse power, it is crazy that 40 hp car existed, considering now a days we never see these type of things. Partly because vehicles are getting heavier and heavier. This Golf is light.
I think a 1.5L diesel still packs a lot of power. I would use the higher RPM ranges in a manual.
wow

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I am shocked that this got as much attention as it did. If you enjoyed this car check out my latest post where we got behind the wheel of a Honda Beat. The Honda Beat makes this VW look like a Ferrari :-P
