i owned a mk3 and it was a freaking mess. 110k miles, full service history, and oil changed every 5,000 and i had nothing but problems. decent mpg's but thats all.
it was clumsy and sluggish. with the 2.0 i have expected more
the mk4 i test drove the other day have twice the miles and ran a whole lot smoother and sounded a might bit better :grin: but it was a tdi

Lol so u got a bad mk3 doesnt mean there all like that and full service history means crap in fact most ones i see with that have more problems with The mk4 is amazing i will prob be buying a mk4 r32 as my 2nd car when my mk3 dies if the wife will let me lol But i love the mk3 mines 16 yrs old and immaculate never had a problem and shes not sluggish and of course there will be a dif between a mk4 and a mk3  there newer and more powerfull lol

full service through vw from vw and i can still to this day call them and they can look it up. but have you own opinion on this i had a horrible experience with my mk3 and will never buy another

A full service history doesnt mean engine wont be f**ked inside doesnt mean holes wont appear lol and with age a car will lose power its just what happens sorry u diddnt have a good experience But the people that take there time to make a mk3 amazing its beautifull and a few folks mk'3s would make the mk4 eat dust lol im just messing dude i like the mk4 2 but i got my mk3 for virtually nothing but have spent a fair few on it prob should have just boiught the r32 but had to buy the misus her audi even though its bloody mine lol
