Defining "fun" is the crux here... any make/model can be warmed over but the mk1/mk2 VW are especially receptive to such massaging. Lumping them in with other OEM FWD simply because they aren't Porsche is categorically a mistake.
Let me explain why: The mk2 Golf and Jetta specifically were available in All Wheel Drive as OEM. The Jetta was for the middle of the production run years ('88-'91 model years) as a Syncro system. Driving fun you say? Have you seen an All Wheel Drive or even FWD mk2 VW "warmed over" from the recent years? You don't know what you don't know which is the basis for the opinion that you're entitled to. I'm only filling in the gap that naturally exists when you don't know what you're talking about. No insult intended, just information sharing which doesn't take from the fun you have in your 911 unless that fun includes ill-informed judgements of the world of vehicles around you.

i have seen and driven some insane FWD autocross cars, CRX si, supercharged sciroccos etc etc ... but IMO FWD is just less fun, period. AWD isn't much more fun either IMO.
just my opinion. i am aware of FWD and AWD cars that perform better than RWD, but for fun, RWD is the only way to go IMO.
i tend to drive my cars like this though:
