When thinking of “hot hatch” models from the late 1980s and early 1990s, few overlook Volkswagen’s GTI models. These sporty compact vehicles offer distinct styling and nimble handling, which of course means that there aren’t too many decent examples left. However, this 1992 Volkswagen Golf GTI that’s available here on eBay blurs the line between driver and survivor, making it a tempting choice for anyone seeking a MK2 GTI.

This GTI is available in Farmingville, New York with a clean title. Surprisingly, despite its location, the seller claims that it is a rust-free vehicle, and that it is a solid example overall. The exterior is very clean and only has minor imperfections, such as some fading on the body trim. Though it features round euro headlights, the seller includes various exterior parts with the vehicle’s sale, such as an extra set of rectangle headlights, the corresponding grille for them, and smoked euro taillights.

Some interior features are missing, such as the radio, but do you really need such a thing in a hot hatch like this? On a positive note, the carpeting and seats are both clean and free of blemishes.

Under the hood, you’ll find a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, which pairs to a 5-speed manual transmission to drive the front wheels. Despite having 159,900 miles on the drivetrain, the seller mentions that it runs and drives well, and it also benefits from adjustable coilover suspension.

At the time of publication, bidding for this GTI is at $3,400. Would you add some more miles to this driver-quality hot hatch?
