Buy a 90 spec 16V.  The 16V is an awesome drive.

Also, if you have the 90 spec you can do an easy upgrade to a 2.0 ABF (150 BHP ) from the MK3 as the electrics are similar.

90 spec's are identified by having the hazard switch on the steering column. Pre 90's have a switch on the dash.


As said, buy on body quality as most mechanicals are easily changed.

8v is 115 BHP
16v is 139 BHP

150bhp? now we are talking!  :cool:

Same power as my mk4 and not haveing the turbo must make it better on fuel?

What are they like to insure? My mk4 is stupidly expensive!

I think you will also find that these older cars do more damage to new cars, people (Should you Hit one) due to them being so well built and this in turn pushes up the insurance costs...
