Not really no!
The 8v is exactly the same as the 16v at low revs, the 16v has loads more over 4000rpm.
That is my opinion and i've driven quite a few of each  :D

Hey you probably right..it's all down 2 the car that ur in at de time I suppose..The last 16v I was in just didn't have that lets get up and go feel about it,and it was a mate's car and he's had a couple of good golf's..He went from 8v 2 16v and back to 8v..Put it this way the 8v and the 16v are both foookin great..But gettin back to my point I would still luv 2 have a Mk1   4 a day or 2... :P

mk2 16v  :D

I'll second that. Keep the revs up around 3200 and you will have a blast. :)

At first, I wasn't a big fan of the Mk4 GTI's.  I had a couple of test-drives in the 2.0 8v's and they just felt a bit heavy and sluggish.

Maybe it was just the particular cars I'd driven, but my Mk4 1.8 20v wipes the floor with them - I'm sure the Mk4 turbo's are even better!  To be honest, I don't really know why VW stopped making the 1.8 GTIs.  ???

My bro' used to have a Mk1 GTI, and that was a loads of fun.  I must admit that my Mk4 doesn't have quite so much poke (cos its heavier), but once you get over about 3500 revs the 1.8 Mk4 really starts to shine.   ;D  but... If I could find a good example of a Mk1, I'd prefer that (for fun factor) any day.
