Title: Hello everyone!
Post by: Fade Out on 17 September 2006, 16:19

Hi all,
Well currently I own a mk3 astra... but as soon as I get my student loan im putting a for sale sign on it and wanting a mk3 golf. I quite fancy a 2.0 8v gti, how quick are these?, my astras a 1.4 8v which is abit crap. Do the golf gti's have a good bit pull?, My dads got a 1.9td golf estate and i love it, is the 2.0 gti quicker than that?
Thanks
Martin

hello and welcome  :smiley:

2.0 8v's dont exactly set the world alite but they are ok. If you can afford the insurance then have a look out for a 16v.

Hello

Mk3 gti 8v's aren't fast on the traffic light grand prix but they have a lazy torquey motor which is fun in  it's own way but compared to an astra you should be well pleased  :smiley:

Yeh well the astra's 62bhp and going by www.carstats.co.uk the golf is 115bhp so should be quite a difference!. Cant wait to get my student loan now so i can get one!
