A drive or a project?

Are Mk2's a drive or a project?
You don't see many driving around, so I'd guess a project.
Mk5 GTI

Too much of a sweeping statement to make if you ask me.

Judge each individual car on its merits. Some may need rebuilding but that’s 'cause the oldest example is 25 years old, some are still solid, as they've been looked after and driven sensibly.

As a ratio of age to number of cars still on the road I'm sure the Mk2 would be in the top 5. I see loads every day!

You forgot to include f@cked  :lipsrsealed: 


I think the Golf2 would probably have top spot for being 25yrs old and still going strong.
How many other 25-17yr old cars are there of 1 model & marque ?

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

See loads of em about in Leicester/Nuneaton/Coventry area, even a couple of mk1 polo's flying about as daily drivers. My Mk2 has done well over 150k and still pulls like a train (when it finally starts up and idles right  :angry:)

If you have a mk2 then enjoy it
