BMW Compact Sport = Poor Man's BMW

They're not really any cheaper than a 3 series for a decent one. Though they're not that expensive , anyone who can afford one anyway isn't what I'd consider as poor.

Post by: DOA on 18 June 2011, 11:31: Unless the golf is a non turbo Gti you will find the compact really bloody slow. If thats the case, dont do it, if however you have a 2l 8v ~~not~~Gti, make the swap!

Post by: Neo Badness on 18 June 2011, 21:27: My mate has a 2ltr compact and I've consistently ~~beaten~~ monstered him with an elderly 16v mk2 :smug:

Although this will most probably change when he finishes his E30 project...

I'd keep the mk4 personally.

Post by: Mikehamid on 19 June 2011, 15:17: As many say, keep the Golf. A 3 series compact is just a poor man's thingy extension. Wreaks of fail.
