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.

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:

Still too slow, still rusts, still wallows around corners as its still a Mk3.

here we go.. 90k miles, passed last mot with no advisories, no rusty wings or sills. dragon green like my old one but 3dr and 16v! only problem is whoever had it before sat on the sunroof and smashed it, and a few bits of peel on the bonnet. drove it home for 500 sheets and the other great thing was my insurance was exactly the same, 8v to 16v, result

Its ridiculous how cheap mk3's are at the moment, 90k miles and £500, bargain. I'd get the red 16v badges on it cus they stand out on a green motor and look mint.  :smiley:
