Unfortunately it is a GTi. As well as the mediocre 1.8l there was also an awful 115BHP 2.0l (8 valve I think) unit.

How can VW call it a GTI with 115BHP

Also 115BHP from a 2.0L car, that is a poor return I would have thought a 2.0L should be pumping out ~150BHP for a car of this era.

That awful aul engine

Iirc the first Audi A4 was only available with that engine for a while when launched first :rolleyes:

And it's probably one of the reasons the new Beetle flopped that it only had that engine for a while too...
