For those who remember my Gol, well, it's gone together with my mother's one (a 1 litter entry model). The substitute is a brand new 2008 Polo Hatch with a 1.6 totalflex (alcohol + gasoline) engine.
Some pics...

The last one from both Gols:

And some of the Polo:

Told you, brand new (5 km):

The only problem now is that I'll have to share it with my sister... :hug:
I'll have to use some persuasive tactics to use it at night time, lol :chair:

Nice, looks good! I recently drove a total flex Fiat, still think it's amazing technology. You guys are way ahead on that one!

I think you and your sister are going to the same nightclubs from now on :)

Your Parents have a Honda :( lol

At least you and your sister have a Polo :D

Do the Polos over there come with airbags ?

I've seen the YouTube movie on the Fox from Brazil vs Europe, so unfair when multinational companies take these life saving technology out of cars :(

ps I would love a Gol even though they are old in architecture terms :)

Not the best example of a "car" (I don't consider FIAT a car...), but I think that it's enough to known the technology...

Well, my sister is dating for a long time now (she is 4 y/older than me) and just uses the car at night to visit her boyfriend... so it'll be one heck of a good fight... hehehe

I was trying to find a mint condition Gol GT 1986, but it's almost impossible to find one below $5000, so I'll have to wait 'till I've a job and then think about it.

I know Honda's don't match well with VW in Europe and USA, but here in Brazil both company compete mostly in different sectors. The only real "dog-fight" is between Golf "4,5" GTi and Civic Si (and I prefer the Si, at least it's not an older version with little design mods!!).

About the Polo, air-bag and ABS are optional and you would have to wait about 2 months to have one with this config (my neighbour asked for one before me and is still waiting). Brazilians really don't mind about security (unfortunately), but I hope someday this will change...

Well, since this post is up again, I think I'll just put a couple of pictures of my recent project...

It's not a '86 GT like I wanted, but it'll be transformed into a different (better) model...
Soon I'll start a topic about the whole project, just need some more time to inspect some legal stuff about modification, etc...

Sometimes I think it's sad that Europe didn't get the BX chassis cars, even though I understand why VW didnt bring it over. It's just the longitudinal setup that thrills me, the similarity to the B1/B2 Passat/80 cars.
