Buddy of mine had a regular 1982 Jetta.

Not a GLi. The engine was durable but the wiring was awful. 50K miles, the fuse block fell apart. He had to build a new fuse block from whatever was handy. That kind of stuff never happened with Hondas.
IMO, for that GLi, would have been worth it. I owned an '84 Rabbit GTi for a few months about 20 years ago and the memories of that car are still fresh. Even though it had been thrashed to pieces, it was the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a car.
I've got a Cobalt Super Sport now, and it'll run rings around that GTi, but the GTi was more fun to drive, hands down. Better seats, better shifter, about 800 pounds lighter. No need for power steering. Lots of glass, great sight lines....
