pro`s in a crash you dont get killed.

con`s  they dont go 0-60 in 1 second like a mark 2..

So dont crash. either way, I think hes a biker and he already has the Mk2. Dont go for a mk3 unless its a 16v or you will regret it.

[wampablo]

whats me being a biker gotta do with it ?  or what about a mk2 16v?

dude, hear me out.

Mk2 =
pro's
fun, involving drive, stands out from the rest.

cons
noisy, rattly, cold, probably damp, older

mk3=
pro's
Comfortable, quiet, less rattly, newer, more common to find spares for, reasonably good in terms of handling

cons
heavier, less involving drive, doesn't handle as well, not as unique.

i'm on my second mk3 8v and don't regret it one bit! as its also got 55k on the clock and in almost perfect condition! plus i enjoy the cheaper insurance and petrol costs and not to mention parts. . . if you want to rag the hell out of your car and race anything that moves then cool get a Mk3 16v.

Cold and damp? You've never been in my mk2.. I could cook pottery in there it's so hot! New water pump
