Drivetrain, suspension, interior, body shape, size. The mk4 was alot more modern when it came to refinement. If a little flimsy in places.

Well my budget is about £1500 which is right in between, I could get a mk3 or one of the first mk4s.

For £1500 you can get a good 16v or vr6 Mk3 or a lame 2.0 (or maybe a miler 1.8 N/A)..Mk4 and I doubt turbo's will be in your price range? I would go for the mk3 myself  :wink:
