Welcome to the forum  :cool:

The Mk2 is the more agile car and more fun to drive but the Mk3's have more creature comforts. VR6's are the best Mk3's but are a bit thirsty.

It all depends on what you want from a car and what kind of driving you're going to be doing.

The mk2 is the better car for fun but if you want comfort the mk3 is the one.. Also If you want a vr6 check your insurance first as I nearly bought one till my insurer denied cover unless I fitted cat1 security
Mk2 for the weekend and mk3 for every day...that's my opinion!!!!!

The better car all round is definitely the Vr6. But that has its drawbacks.

If its a choice between 16v's then as said the Mk 2 handles better but the Mk 3 has things like ABS and air-con.

So its down to your personal preference!
