did not read the start, but get a MK2. MK3's are like the Titanic, eventually they sink and rot. Give it another year and all the MK3's will be gone from the world as we know.

Go test drive both and make your OWN mind up!  :smiley:


or you could listen to those people with mk2's tell you to buy one and people with mk3's tell you to buy one of them!  :grin: :rolleyes:



I've got a mk3 and love it!! but would love a mk2 as just love the look of them (never driven one). Which ever you end up with just make sure you give it a good going over. . . check service history, check for rust etc! end of the day its your choice buddy don't listen too much to what others say as its you who is driving it!


if it were me. . not YOU, and looked at a mk3 at 2k i'd go to that budget on a mint little mk2!  :smiley: seen dome great ones for around that price.



welcomes to!  :cool:

Spend the £2000 on a sh!t hot mk2, they are also very easy to work on, all you need is a Haynes manual and a hammer. I have had two mk3s and three mk2s, I thought both mk3s were awful cars. The mk2s look better, handle better, go faster, if you are over 25 you can insure them on a classic policy for £200! What more could you want from a car?

Lets compare...
