I've recently been given a mk1 golf as a second car by a friend. I've been driving it for 5 months as a work and supermarket car after having the 964 as a daily driver for the last 2 years. All i can say is that after driving the golf for a few days, then taking out the 964, it feels so quick and handles so well. I think after 2 years i started taking the 964 for granted and was considering engine performance mods etc. Now i have a normal car to do the more mundane driving in, i love my 964 even more. I still take my 964 out a few times a week for fun and do regular track days. I'm now saving £150 on my insurance and my fuel costs almost halved too.

Mines a dialy, has been for 13 months. Other half has a car so it doesn't count as we can go out in that if we need to.
I dont see any probs with using it daily but I may have been lucky over the last year with bills etc.
Fuels getting a bit exensive - but so worth it!

The Teal is OK, cos it is quicker off the mark than the 964 apart from in the wet when putting quite a bit of power thro' narrow, pre-war design cross-ply tyres gets exciting.
