was trying to convince myself i`d got the right model, lol like i said i had some good fun in the mk3, it done what it was supposed to do, it just wasnt for me, not enough grunt and all the power was at the top, i thought it would be like my old mk2 16v which had loads more midrange (and smoke lol) but it wasnt.

So why does every Vr6 which gets broken allways ends in the bay of a MK2? 
The MK3 did give us the VR6 that is all......

Not wishing to buy into this Pissing contest given that I have a SEAT presently (although 13MK2's and 2 MK3's also under the belt) and would just like you to note the MK3 was not the car the VR6 was designed for.
The VR6 was developed in 1986 and put into a MK2 Golf and a Scirocco in 1989, they were never released on sale as the engine required further development. By the time the engine was ready, the MK2 had been replaced. Hence the engine and lots of other components from the MK2 carried forward to the MK3.

im drunk and i really shouldnt be on here in fact my missus has told me to leave it but mk 2's are brilliant but mk3's are newer and better although they messed the mk4 up lmao but every golf is pretty good but there not the best cars on the planet ! i just dont understand people who have spent 15k etc on them. Why not just go buy a proper car  its not as if we would all like a real nice car most people could afford one if we didnt spend so much money on our old golfs! tbh if i hadnt have bought mine i wouldnt understand the fascination but now i have i love it and i will not part with it even after i have bought my next car! It costs me next to nothing to keep it going so i shall keep it in tip top condition i believe i will only let it go if i become bankrupt or i die! btw im taking mine off the road next month till april it deserves a break im gunna run around in a diesel 4x4 till april thats the longest drunken sentance ive ever done lol night peps!

  I like the drunken rant! Makes sense too.

I'd rather have mk2 I've had both mk2 n 3 and my mk2 gti pisses over mk3 n mk4s. There a classic that need to be kept on the road as one of the last real gti's.
