What are GTi6's like as daily drivers?

If it get's hot in traffic then the Rad is on it's last leg's or the system needs a flush thru, Never had one run hot and those who know me know I've had loads, even in 205's with smaller rad's they do not run hot at all.

Or the headgasket isn't sealing properly and combustion gasses are getting into the coolant.

Miles is right, with a good rad, well-maintained cooling system and working fans they will get up to operating temp quite fast but won't overheat.

I suggest a Nissens radiator along with a flush-through and thermostat replacement for peace of mind if the car is still on the original rad.
