Why the negativity for MK3 Golfs - enlighten me :)

[Deano2711]

Ive had plenty of cars with nowhere near as much 'soul' as the mk3 and I find it ridiculous when people say that. Fair enough it isnt the same as the mk2 but compare it to escort, saxo, renault 19, sierra, astra, clio (excl. 16v and williams) etc and it certainly has got a certain appeal to drive.

Have to agree really Mate.....I have sampled and owned hundreds of cars in my time and just keep coming back to the Mark 3 Golf. I just love them to bits as it suits my needs and even the missus loves the new one. Nothing else gives me the same buzz. I have never tried a Mark 2 and the only reason I do want to try one is because I keep hearing how they are better than the Mark 3, quicker, lighter and more reliable etc.

I've yet to get all involved with the armco.  This came close and could have been a lot worse.

That's because when they were reliable you hadn't been born yet...

It's usually people who have never owned a mk3 just jumping on the bandwagon. Maybe the 8v was dissapointing as a GTI
but get over it. I love mine and if it worked properly i'd like it even more    Love the look of the mk3, especially in my mystic blue
