Title: Golf vs MR2
Post by: philed on 20 April 2005, 23:44

 :grin:
Have had both ( hence the email add)
anybody else had a mk2 gti and a mk1 MR2? ( have have both a normal and the supercharged import)
wot about the Honda CRX ( wife had one) ?
would put my golf 2nd to my MR2 supercharger purely because of grunt. The crx is very similar to drive. It takes a while to get going but hits u in the back of the head at 4500  :laugh:
How do your ex cars compare?

Had an MR2 SC at the same time as a Mk2 8v.  TBH although the MR2 was much quicker, I found the golf much more fun to hoon around in.

Get what u mean about Golfs being chuckable.
Quick doesn't always mean exciting does it.
Quickest car I've had was a 200sx S14 - but just wasn't any fun - unlike my new 16V :cool:

Definately much more chuckable.  Sounds a bit daft but I was more comfortable with the balance of the golf compared to the MR2.

i had a CRX and to be honest they lack in quality.
my mate has a CRX V-tec and its a very fast sh!t box indeed but again lacks in quality to the golf. ohh and the back end tooo light on the CR's :undecided:

way faster than my golf dont get me wrong but they rust like a b!tch and the crx forum members are a load of tw4ts :smiley:

I don't remember you having a CRX Satnam  :nerd:
Do you have any pictures????  :grin:
