Never said anything about comparing, im talking about costs and what you get out of what you spend.
MK 1 Golfs are generally rot boxes, min spend is 2k but concourse is 7k. Conversions can be done but again most are nowhere near the power a 205 can be made, parts are easy and cheap to buy too for them. These Golfs do seem to suffer with quite a lot of problems, ie 2nd gear, rot, engines over 100k etc.

Even the 16 valve engines are low powered. 160bhp it says in link.

205 gti's are increasing in value every year, its a sound investment, especially a good ph1. You can pick one up for 1500 quid with a gti6 and 5 speed gbox. Also so many citreon and Peugeot parts are so interchangeable too which helps lots.
Golfs may have started the Hot Hatch craze, the 205 gti perfected it lol.
