It just felt like it was falling apart at speed. It also wasnt very fast and kept braking down. Not sure how anyone would pick that over say a c4 with same said recycled trash body minus the usless middle seat .
It's 1200 lbs lighter, has the engine in the right place, and looks cool?
The top trim only had like 140 hp 35 years ago so it's not going to be fast without major mods obviously. No surprise you wouldn't like the seats though, I'm surprised you have a Golf to be honest - you seem like you should be driving an A8L.
In reality I'd never buy one, the cost of shipping something like that would be more than the car is even worth - not when the MR2S is available here for $5k.
Too bad the stupid MR2S hardtop is rare and $$, I think that would be a fun car to drive daily and autox with minimal mods. Black one debadged with hardtop, tires, shocks, alignment, and a beefy front swaybar would be a fun cheap ride for $10k-ish and could compete nationally in autox. I think they even look pretty good with a roof:
