If you have a spare day or so, read through the huge thread... it makes interesting reading.

We need a running for cover smiley especially for the old 8v vs 16v debate threads!!!

Try both as suggested mike a see which best suits your driving style, cough *valver* cough

My advice is find a GTI thats in good nick that you like and then fight your corner.  Personally I wouldnt let the number of valves dictate what car you get... too much.
