I'll do you one better.

The 1983 Mustang LX had a whopping 90 HP & a one barrel carburetor. Absolute shittiest car I've ever owned.

Ahh the 80's. The absolute shittiest decade for cars in the history of cars.

The Rabbit GTi takes offense to this

Well my best friend's mom had an 80's Rabbit Diesel. His dad tuned it for economy, which meant it did 0-60mph in something under a week. We would have killed for something like a GTi.

*American cars. My 80s civic was amazing, it had auto fuel shutoff during deceleration to lower gas consumption, bucket seats, sliding height seat belts in door pillar ( now standard on cars), adjustable steering, and a turning radius so tight you could do a Uturn on a regular road. The only thing that was a bit quirky was if you decelrated a lot then hit the gas hard coming out of a corner, the sudden refueling of the engine sometimes made it a bit wild when the power hit.
