Nice Golf for not much money. Great satisfaction to be had with a weekend, a machine polisher and some forever black.
ETA...MOT History doesn't look great though, it has managed to go from major defects for corrosion (do not drive) to, repair if necessary, over a few days...

With Regards the Satria GTI. Anyone know how much they were selling for, I have searched and see a price of £12995 when introduced, up to £14500 when that 2003 plate was originally sold.
They had reasonable reviews, however, with a Honda Civic Type-R being £15995 in 2002, you'd feel very short changed if you paid full price on a Satria.
Civic Type R was 2 generations ahead in everything, build quality, engine and handling.
I remember a friend of a friend having a Satria GTI at maybe 5-7 years old and the interior was literally falling to bits.[url]

The unloved Mk3 Golf looking more and more appealing... I posted a lovely (but ten grand) VR6 in the other thread a month or so back, but this one spotted at my local tonight definitely deserves a share here. 16v far more 'GTI' like than either the 8v or the VR6 supposedly. I dont need a car at all. But I'm tempted. Very usable modern classic. It was in cracking 'used but not abused' condition, looked to need some brakes and tyres and a machine polish thats all. Interior looked great.
The Mk 3 was prone to rust. In 2010, I picked up an 8v GTI for £750. It was a good car, to be fair but the broke down, something to do with the distributor then it suffered to worn ignition which had to be replaced. The gear linkage was never great so that had a modification.It was fairly crusty underneath and when I split a brake pipe changing the rear shocks, I scrapped it, though mainly because a car cut in on me and slammed in the brakes and the Golf hit it like a sledgehammer. The Golf survived and drove just fine.

This one is for sale on Facebook marketplace too (its not far from where I live on the South Coast). As the ad says, it was the cover car on Classic Cars not long ago and tbh if you want a Satira GTI looks like about as good as you are likely to get. Hence in the current market place that for me is a well priced car, if you want a Proton GTI, that is. These had very good reviews when they came out in Autocar and EVO..... Chassis work by Lotus, wasn't it?
I guess my main worry would be if you could even get the OEM parts for the suspension etc. nowadays - if you'd have to replace everything with non-standard coilovers (or whatever) then it's just another hatchback with suspension that is too hard
lolThe Satria GTI is a CA5A Mitsubishi Colt GTI in slightly different clothes, they share a lot of components with the Evo 1/2/3 and FTO so there should be quite a few options for maintaining and updating them.
I had a Colt GTI as a track car, it was a good little car and there was quite an active group for both Colt and Satria, performance on par with a Mk2 Golf 16v but handle better.

Not sure how much trust i put in someone selling it because of the colour, especially when it's such a nice colour, but people are odd.
