Having gone from a Lupo GTi to a MK3 Golf 8v I would recommend 1 thing if you want your MK3 to handle well......SELL IT and buy something else before you go spending loads of cash 'putting it right'
However if you want something reasonably nippy, reliable and with a certain amount of retro cool then keep your MK3 but having owned plenty of performance cars (M3s etc) I would say that handling was probably rthe MK3's weakest point.....yeah it's comfy but don't kid yourself that it's any good
