Hmmmm,
When I was growing up the MK2 was at its peak!! I loved it but then when I passed my test the MK3 was about although at the time people always said to MK2 was better, but the VR6 kicked ass.
Then the MK4 came out and it was my first Golf. Great car but when my company car came along I had to sell it and had some spare cash. It was then a toss up between the MK1 2 and 3... After speaking to a MK1 enthusiast I decided to try and find one but there were hardly any decent ones around for less than £1500.
Thats when I found my MK2 16 valver... £700 and it is awesome for handling. :laugh: :laugh:
So... its not a question of whats the better car, just what do people prefer???
-
voted for mk2 as even though i havent got one at mo (mk4 driver :rolleyes:) lol, they are the best off the bunch, ive had more than you can shake a stick at, 16v's rock............
-
it was a toss up between a mk1 and mk2 for me, but old skool rock, so mk1 it was.........
-
mk1. nuff said.
-
mk1 .. (and this is coming from a mk4 and mk2 owner :huh: )

It is 6 to 5 in favour of MK2's :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
mk3 vr6
not too old, very fast but just that little bit more refined.
before i owned a vr6 i would of chosen a mk2 16v every time :laugh:
-
used to be a big fan of the mk3's but mk2's now for me
-
i voted mk1, even tho i got a 4.
Mk1 is the law
-
it was a toss up between the mk1 and the mk2 when i was looking for a golf, i love the look of the mk2 when it has those G60 arches but as you can see i went for the mk1! and i love it!  :grin:
-
mk1 :cool:
Dinx :kiss:
-
mk3 al the way :grin:
-
MK1 :evil:
-
mk1 for me, but with a very healthy respect for mk2s  :wink:  :grin:
-
mk1 even though i love my mk3
-
i havent driven a mk1 but ive yet to find anything that beats the grin factor of a mk2!
-
mk1 :cool:
-

I had to really though didnt I. But it is my honest opinion, those who have driven one for any amount of time will know why.
-
old cars are far better than new cars :tongue:
i voted mk2, only because there wasnt a valver mk1 (i know the oettinger one but what are the chances of finding one)
-
has to be a Mk1 really although they are to small for me to drive in comfort so voted for the Mk2. some one should do the worst golf survey sorry guys it would have to be the Mk3 8v oooh dear how slow and boat like
-
its mk1's that are slow mate, go buy a mk3 vr6 :laugh:
-
its mk1's that are slow mate, go buy a mk3 vr6 :laugh:

-
its all getting out of hand!! lol :grin:

-
I knew this would get out of hand as soon as I seen the thread first being posteds
-
Better to have a barge than mk1 with no brakes :laugh: :laugh:
-
I was reading before at work that the mexicans are currently running the mk1's / rabbits on vegetable oil, something to bear in mind corrin in case a petrol strike occurs again :grin:
-
i thought that was what JET sold as petrol!! lol :grin:
-
Better to have a barge than mk1 with no brakes :laugh: :laugh:
But the mk1 one can go into the corner quicker then :laugh: :laugh: :wink:

unless you have a fuel leak and slip on your vegetable oil :grin:

thats where the barge likeness of the mk3 comes in useful :wink:
/me is gonna keep stum now
-
I am only just starting :grin:
-
IMHO the true essence of the Golf GTI stopped after the mk2.
My Mk2 valver was a great all round motor, but for me the retro style and rawness of the mk1 outweighs the all round performance of the mk2 (just).
-
what a load of bollox :laugh: :laugh:
-
what is a loads of bollox corrin?
-
golf gti not existing after the mk2.
the mk3 16v isn't alot slower than the mk2 16v.
the 1.8T is quicker.
and as for the gti diesel, that pisses all over mk1 and mk2 gti's :laugh:
so as for the brand dying after mk2's, i don't think so, thats not even including the vr6 and the v6 4 motion/R32 :kiss:
-
mk3 all the way :grin:
Especially in Tornado Pink

MKII for me to. The MKI was a bit too basic, drove my dads MKIII VR6 awesome in a straight line but even with a decnt suspension upgrade was pretty poo around the twisties. Not driven a MKIV GTI but have driven a BORA 1.9 TDI (again my dads) and quite licked that but as it had the sprt setup on it but still not as good as the MKII. LOve to drive a MKV Gti but the local stealership didn't want to let me :-(

Calm down guys!
Since when does my favourite golf have to relate to the fastest Golf!
If all I wanted from a car was speed, I'd go and buy myself a Scooby!
I own a V6 4-Motion myself, but leave that for the wife, as I get more enjoyment from driving the Mk1. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper to run and has been much more reliable.
Old Skool rules!

Is a tough one between the mk1 and 2...
...and i drive a mk3! I grew up with the mk3 tho and i wouldnt change it!
not for at least a month anyway! :wink:
-
cheers for doing the poll!!! :grin:
The MK2 is on 25 and mk1 on 20... Maybe it is just a reflection of the age of most people on this site and/or the amount of MK2's available compared to MK1's
