had both and have my 8v now. My 8v is a high spec gti so much better than my 16v. MPG seem to be the same but only drove around town in the 8v. I'm much happier with my 8v.

Looks like we have a "which is better" thread :) I currently have both an 8v and a 16v. Both I love but for different reasons. My 8v feels torquier low down as we all know but in real life, it cant lose my 16v from the lights. 16v feels freer but without the low down urgency of the 8v. Its good to own both at one time or another to assess which suits you best.. personally, I cant decide lol  :laugh:

Going from 8v to 16v in a MK3 is like having to wear only one orthopaedic shoe.

I maybe wouldn't of worded it like that....but it's close to what I believe (I rarely took my 8v over 5000rpm and it was quick enough for how i drive.....)

The 16v really packs a punch past 4000rpm, I like that.  :laugh:

what shady's saying is if you've got a small man hood then the 16v rocks and is the one for you  :laugh:
