You could consider the V5 Mk4

you would be better off getting the 1.8T or the V6 4Mo as the V5 doesn't have enough power for its weight

I have a MK4 GTi for driving around with the missue and a mk2 8V GTi with a very turned engine for the weekend. It seems to be the perfect setup.  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

However I'v have heard that the Turbos can have a lot of problems so have a good look around before buying. 

To be honest I would go for the GT TDI and chip it. (MK4)

VR6 fast but with pertol prices????and it will have to be a highline!
I crashed mine, but another will be coming soon....

they need tweeking big time mind, the suspension is sooooo bad as standard!  :smiley:

I have a 1.9 tdi so i am guessing suspension set up is roughly same as the 1.8 t.

How much for a decent suspension setup then?

Diesel power all the way
