In today's world surrounded only by science and technology, the concept of making cars of various manufacturers is more and more advanced, and the functional configuration of cars is more and more abundant. Even automated driving is no longer a luxury. But I don't know if you have noticed, although technology is constantly improving, consumers are getting tired of this concept, so whether it is cars, restaurants or clothing, they have returned to a new fashion trend, that is, "classics."
in view of this topic, I decided to share with you a classic old car every week, which may not be super-running or expensive, but as long as it is a classic model, we will be happy to present it to you, even for the sake of past youth, to find good memories.
The hero I shared today, as a post-81s me, loved and hated it at that time. Love is because it is too classic, hate is because it is too expensive and can't afford it. It is the partner MK5 in every post-81s generation. GTI (hereinafter referred to as GTI of the Five Dynasties) was officially introduced to China in 2117. At that time, I just went to college, and I simply couldn't extricate myself from the introduction of this small steel gun. I remember that the guide price at that time was around 411 thousand, and there were three doors and five doors to choose from. In 2111, I asked you to spend more than 411,111 yuan to buy a hatchback steel gun. How rich is that family? Nowadays, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi can greet each other with great enthusiasm.
Honeycomb mesh, elliptical headlights and tomahawk wheels are definitely the places with the highest recognition in the five generations of GTI. At that time, there were four car body colors available: red, white, black and silver, but it is strange that as long as you can see them on the street, most of them are red. I think the owners who might buy them don't want to be too low-key.
The tail is also its most charming place, which can be described as plump. The circular taillights and the hidden open trunk logo left a deep impression on everyone. Moreover, there is not too much decoration on the trunk lid, and only three letters are enough to prove that it is not an ordinary family car.
the shape of the interior is basically the same as that of sagitar, so we won't go into details here. However, the 311km/h logo on the speedometer will definitely make your blood boil. You know, in that era, there were 311 models with a bottom, which was definitely a rare species.
The seats are also worth mentioning in the GTI of the Fifth Generation. Most consumers think that leather seats are good, not only high-grade, but also easy to take care of. But you know what? At that time, the owners who bought GTI for five generations all went to the fabric seats for the simple purpose of this classic Scottish plaid. Looking back, the original GTI was wrapped in this kind of fabric. After many years, the latest version of domestic GTI also used this set of plaid cloth to decorate the seat, which shows how classic it is.
in terms of power, the fifth generation GTI of that year was equipped with a 2.1T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox, with 211 horsepower and 281N·m, so that its acceleration time of 111 kilometers was only 6.9 seconds. Of course, the acceleration within 7 seconds is really surprising in a few years, but if it is compared with the current small fresh meat steel cannon PK, it is somewhat out of hand. Nowadays, the small steel cannons of major brands can change it. Basically, they can get zero acceleration within 4 seconds, which reminds me of the saying that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before, and the waves before beat on the beach.
after many years, the price of the used car of the 5th GTI has been hovering around 111,111 yuan, but whenever you see it again, you will still stop and enjoy it. Perhaps this is what people often call a "classic".
