Title: Looking for a Gti
Post by: Bobby Valentino on 01 December 2009, 17:17

Hello,

I am currently in the process of finding myself a new car now that insurers won charge me ridiculous amounts of money for owning a decent motor.

ONe of the cars Im considering is a MK3 Golf Gti 16V, as these seem to be coming down in price within my budget of around 1k (also considering a Ibiza Cupra, Almera Gti, and Rover 25Gti as I own a Rover  atm, no jokes plz  :evil:)

Now couple questions if you could help me out with, firstly how easy are these cars to work on, I am half decent with a spanner and into modding so would give the car a good service and start with changing suspension exhaust etc., next is could you give me a rough idea of what sort of MPG I could be expecting on a long run on the motorway from one of these and finally I am strugleing to find many Gti's with AC, was this quiet rare???

Thanks for any help

hey! welcome to the forum  :cool:

these questions may be better asked or ^^^searched^^^ for in the mk3 section  :smiley:

pretty easy to work on, if you know roughly what to do then, if you need it, with a little help from threads and peeps on here you should be laughing  :smiley: i'm by no means an amzing mechanic but have found it very easy with said guidance and have managed to do a lot of work myself.

not sure about AC, prob about 40ish mpg.... but do not quote me on that as i have an 8v which can be different..

hope thats some help!

goodluck on the search matey!  :smiley:
