Title: Newbie - looking at buying a Mk4 GTi this week! (Hopefully)
Post by: jsd86 on 15 July 2013, 13:22

Hi Guys and Gals,

My name is Jas, and I hope to have a Mk4 GTi by the end of this week if all goes well!

I've got a s14a 200sx at the moment, but I have decided to take it off the road for an overhaul. So I need a fun daily car (that I may tinker with if my wife let's me  :wink: ) and decided I want a Golf.

I'm viewing a 2.0 tomorrow, but I'm leaning more towards the 1.8T simply because of the power difference. Don't know too much about the differences in the model years and engines at the moment; seeing some 1.8T's with 125hp and other's with 150hp - so any advice is appreciated  :smiley:

welcome mate  :smiley: stay away from the 2.0 as they are terrible go for the 1.8t but no 1.8t will have 125bhp should either be 150bhp or for a late mk4 or anniversary its 180bhp

Cheers Barry.

I think I must have been looking at the 1.8 non turbo.... Think I may have found my car - doing a final viewing tomorrow night  :smiley:
