Post by: emery1990 on 20 January 2011, 21:11: I would do the same if I sold my 16v and I wanted another, 8v are a good £500 cheaper sometimes, sometimes even more! Get a 2.0l 16v uprate the brakes, few other bits probs lol Buy on body not the cheap engine!

Post by: tweed on 21 January 2011, 23:25: had both and have my 8v now. My 8v is a high spec gti so much better than my 16v. MPG seem to be the same but only drove around town in the 8v. I'm much happier with my 8v.

Post by: Stooza on 24 January 2011, 08:40: Looks like we have a "which is better" thread :) I currently have both an 8v and a 16v. Both I love but for different reasons. My 8v feels torquier low down as we all know but in real life, it cant lose my 16v from the lights. 16v feels freer but without the low down urgency of the 8v. Its good to own both at one time or another to assess which suits you best.. personally, I cant decide lol :laugh:

Post by: tweed on 24 January 2011, 12:02: you only notice a big difference in the two when you drive like a complete thingy! :grin: so if your not a fast driver stick with 8v and if you drive like a prick have a 16v

I maybe wouldn't of worded it like that....but it's close to what I believe (I rarely took my 8v over 5000rpm and it was quick enough for how i drive.....)

Post by: Shady Pioneer on 24 January 2011, 12:52: The 16v really packs a punch past 4000rpm, I like that. :laugh:
