i bought my mk1 a few months back and have had the chance to drive other cars. i don't regret my choice. tho i picked a hard layout with a stick and the worst place to learn how to drive. in a few months ill be able to drive anything with wheels haha. def go to a meet and get someone to take you for a drive with the t-tops down. you'll be sold like this (50 sec)
