Title: 8v gti or driver
Post by: Dom Mk3 on 13 June 2005, 19:34

Is there going to be much difference in performance between the 2.0 8v gti and the driver? Because the insurance is a fair amount cheaper.

Sorry to ask but I've been searching for a site with the info and can't find one...

the driver is 90bhp, the 8valve gti 115bhp, 16v gti 150bhp, vr6 174bhp.

So yeah i guess there is a bit of difference :grin:

Go for the gti if you can afford it mate, will make you smile more :cool:

Can afford everything but the vr6, just wondering if it was worth the extra :cool:

aint much more to insure than the 16v, but likes to drink juice a bit more

yeah but can only budget £1500, so it'll be a pretty shagged vr6! :grin:

i 'think' the Driver has standard susp - so the drive will be extra soggy as well as slow

Bump...

Found a 3dr driver, full mot, fsh, new cambelt.

It's got a stainless aftermarket exhaust, looks like 6x4 oval. Also has adjustable suspension (could just be the dampers that are adjustable). Certainly looks lowered.

Up for £1295, going to look at it this arvo/tomorrow. Any thoughts?
