I've had a Mk3 16v and a Mk2 16v. The Mk2 felt much quicker than the Mk3 and it had fewer problems than the Mk3, which is why I sold it to get the Mk2.
Even with the 150bhp 16v engine, the Mk3 is still heavy
Do you know if your GTI is still kicking out the full power?
Besides, you've no idea what the Mk2 that "smoked" you was running, could have been anything from a 16v to a G60 or 1.8T.

It's horses for courses though. If you like the Mk3, get one and enjoy it.

Some people dont understand the whole real gti thing, once the mk2's have gone then the mk3 or mk4 will never be the next real gti as they are too safe and boring, havnt actually driven a mk3 but have a mk4.

Only just seen this thread and its a good un!  :grin:

Ive owned a mk2 and a mk3 8v and while the mk2 is more fun the mk3 is better for my current needs, it can provide some fun as well as being comfy. Perfick! Mk3 FTW!

I would love another mk2 though but as a second car or a weekend toy.

maybe thats rounded it up for us mk3 owners, to be honest im not really bothered who likes which model, what matters is that i like my own car for what it does for me, school run, autotests on a regular basis incl this weekend, family car,commuting,still doing around 1k miles per mth most the times and putting a smile on my face, oh and providing me with a dry seat!!!! lmao. everyone to there own, but im glad i opened this thread cus its been wicked fun!!! cheers lads!!! mk3 ftw!!!!!!  :grin:

I've had a mk2 16v and currently have a mk3 16v. On a cold dark wet winter morning when I need to get to work I prefer the mk3 over the mk2 hands down. When it comes to a serious blast around the lanes on a summer evening the mk2 simply sh*ts on the mk3.

i have a mk1 16vg60 but its no good for a daily, ive just bought a mk3 16v and it will serve me well over the winter, then will be broken and the engine will be going in another mk1 as the mk3 is too slow, mk1 for B road action, mk2 for styling, mk3 for breaking
