Can't decide MK2 or MK3?
« on: 27 April 2009, 20:17 »
Hi all,

After years of wanting one I'm going to buy my first GTI.  Always wanted a MK2 and have seen one for £800 with new cambelt, clutch and gearbox.  It's a 1991 8v 5 door in red and looks pretty clean (hasn't gone pink).

Then I came accross a really low mileage (44k) 1997 mk 3.  It's up for 2k but looks brand new. I know it's personal choice but anyone got an opinion on what to do?

I'm not that handy with cars so I'm tempted by the Mk3. Any thoughts would be great.

A mk2 will give you much more driving pleasure and is much better looking

Looks good.  Are most people on the site interested in modifying?  Just had a look through some of the pics and most were mod.  I want to get a one that is completely original.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
