Mk1 or Mk2 16v? decisions decisions....
« on: 18 February 2010, 22:06 »
Hmmmm.... as above, I hear that the Mk1 is infinitely more reliable but as a daily? Seen a Campaign in great condition but tempted by a cheaper Mk2, love the drive of both Mk1 and Mk2.....

Gonna make up another 5 posts so I can PM, hope you don't mind peeps!!!

Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I think I'd get a 16v too if I were getting another MK2, got to get my current one working first  :grin:

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

The mk2 16V is more refined and comfortable as a daily driver in standard form but it all depends what you want from a car and probably your age as that effects what you want a car to feel like.
