Jorge: I've always preferred the GLI to the GTI. One of the reasons is that the GLI was made in Germany, while the GTI was made in the US/Mexico. Also, the GLI seemed to get some of the "goodies" that were never offered on the GTI: the 10.1" front brakes and ABS are just two that come to mind.

Hi folks, Yesterday I went down to a local VW used car shop (or should I say pre-owned) to see a black 91 GTI 16V they had, but it had been sold on Monday. One of the buyers told me they're getting a mint (which also happens to be the color - Mint Green) '92 GLI next Tuesday. According to the guy, this car is owned by an older lady, who drives it that way, and they've always serviced it. He said they've been after this car for a while because it's in excellent shape. My question is, Is there a noticeable loss in performance due to the extra weight? And, How much heavier is the GLI than the GTI? I prefer the looks the GTI's, but if this car is as clean as they say, I think I'm buying it. I know I'll be test driving it, so I'll know what the performance differences are, if any, but I wanted some opinions from you guys. Really can't wait 'till Tuesday. Sorry for the length of this, but it's kinda slow today anyway.
