Few things in the automotive world are more descriptive of the 1980s than the flora of GTI cars. Everyone dreamed of them: young drivers with young drivers, families who wanted a little more fat and two cars, and pensioners who still had problems.
in a bit of fun – and a bank account that took part in the notes.
It started as we were in 1976 with Golf GTI, but the 1980s became the decade when many others threw themselves on the waves. And 30 years ago, it was a question of culminating, with 16-valve and turbo editions
Our subjective memory of the time was that the 205 GTI with 1.9 liter engine was the current "star", with Golf GTI in second place. The Gulf has now become a bit of a good, although it helped with the 16-valve version, and everyone was expecting the G60 version
come. Shortly after the two, Kadett GSI, which gained popularity with a slightly rough 16-valve engine just at that time, and the Escort XR3i, which was a little mechanical, and whose successor, RS Turbo, has never completely taken off. the four were the fully dominated market in Norway, so there were plenty of alternatives in production, although some of them were never tried to sell in Norway. They are still to find, and you want to relive the GTI era
can you do it in a car that has a makeup – if you are looking to look a little.

Lancia Delta HF Turbo
The Lancia sale in Norway is not just a stable thing. After the Saab did some spades trying to push it when the new Delta model like "Saab 600" around 1980 became very quiet. As far as Lancia in all
taken on Norwegian roads, it was in the form of the Thema family car, which participated in the team with Saab 9000, Fiat Chroma and Alfa Romeo 164.
Had been much involved in the traffic in the years 1980, it is not we would certainly be so impressed. The design began to go on for years, and with the five-door body, it was really on the side of a typical GTI car to exchange
about. But the rally variants we had respect for – they were in a completely different league.

rarer in Norway than Integrale, if we believe the statistics online.
Indeed, it also reflects the impression of the rest of Europe, where HF Turbo is not so much more bilingual than an integral could think it. However, if you want to recreate the GTI feeling of the 1980s, it's a little sweeter
HF you should go for. For example, this model 1990 for 8.500 Euro in German Esslingen

Mazda 323 Turbo 4×4
L & R Perhaps one of the most funny competitors was one of the most anonymous – and that is perhaps why it was fun. For the fun version of 323 Mazda, which we do not remember if she had an official GT designation or not, was direct
The closest competitor to the same country was the Toyota Corolla GTI, and it fell into most wish lists because it was even more anonymous than Mazdaen. May be undeserved, since the Twincam engine has certainly been much more than a fireworks
More than one expected in a Corolla, but in this class it was a matter of doing a lot of goodness.

Mazdaens 140 or 150 horses, a bit depending on which source you think should have work well in a car that, despite all-wheel drive, weighed no more than 1100 kilos. Heavier than many competitors, but also with a tighter grip
about the road, we will believe. Because we have never driven one. If at all we saw one on the road in Norway. For this, as usual, the anonymous things were purely visual. It was a bit fake in the 1980s.
But today it may be very correct – if you find one at all. We found in Sweden a model of 1987 which seems relatively complete, although slightly corroded by the teeth of the time. Some have also adjusted quite vigorously under the hood like that
that he must have 250 horses today. It seems that we are struggling with the drive, but it is safe to reset as part of a slight restoration.
