Well I was after a cabby, so only really had the option of the Mk1 or Mk3... don't anybody pretend there's actually a Mk4 cabby, I'll give you Mk3.5 at a stretch....
Agree the Mk3 is a bit of a barge, but I was after a larger, safer car (ABS, side impact, airbags, etc, etc).... my other options were the old Audi Cab or break the bank and go with the Saab93/AudiA4... so the Golf Mk3 Cab's pretty small and nimble compared to most of those, certainly will be once I've finished the engine mods and suspension.
Plus I always wanted a Golf and this way I'm only breaking the bank slowly!
Still think my next motor is an Audi S4 Cabby... Still not gonna beat my boss's DB7 Volante though
