8v or 16v
« on: 22 February 2005, 09:09 »
Hi Everyone,

I've always had Mk2 8v's, but now I'm after a Mk3. I'm thinking of going for a 16v, but whats everyones opinions on the Mk3 8v and 16v? Which one should I go for? What are the bhp's of both if standard?

Cheers,
ajh

8v 115bhp
16v 150bhp

Go for the 16v as 8v isn't really that quick. Unless you can afford to stretch to a vr6.

Thanks for the info mate. I would love a VR6 but have only got ?2k max to spend and don't think that would buy me a very good one  :sad:

Should be able to get a reasonable 16v for 2 grand, if you look around enough  :wink:

Yeah, I've seen a nice P reg one with 75k miles on the clock for ?2100 ono... Only problem is that its dragon green and I'm ideally after black or dark grey.

I've got an 8v. Tryed a 16v but found the 8v a more usable car. cheaper to insure aswell. uses less petrol. Big bonus :grin:
