Happy days! Bought my 16v cheap, thought it would need a huuuge amount throwing at it, but it's not that bad overall! Gotta love a Bargain!

Every cloud and all that, looking forward to seeing the new 16v, just made the transition myself and quite pleased tbh. Loved my 8v but the 16v feels much more like a GTI should. had a go against a mk4 v5 the other day, wouldn't have even attempted it in the 8v.

lol I had a Mk3 Fiesta pushrod that could take on anything! Never won anything though! That car was purely for comedy  :grin:

I've never driven/owned a 16V, Looks like i need to try one to see what its all about. Reading the above sounds like its the real deal  :rolleyes:

Hahaha v funny, i was meant to say that going from an 8v to a 16v, although doesn't feel much different seems to give me a bit more confidence at the lights! but i can see from my previous post ive left myself open to some ridicule.....
