The Mighty Lynx wasn’t hated. We were constantly frustrated by it’s performance and serviceability, especially the Mk1. But once you understood the complexities of the Mk1 GTI, Mk2.5, Mk3.5, Mk3.5 Turbo & all the other combinations we had before the Mk7 it was treated with respect and loved. Even for those that suffered the odd Lynx bite.
