hey im new, blonde and have an issue with my mk3

[dansmk3]

wont be interested?? you sure the reason why he wont comment is the fact that everyone knows the facts??

not any quicker?? well that all depends on what you have done under the bonnet dont it?? at the end of the day the mk4 was the turn and the demise of the golf shape!!! far too tall and boxy!

Won't comment? I never said he won't comment. I haven't even asked him.

True about under the bonnet. Not sure why someone said a 115bhp car isn't faster than a 150bhp that's remapped to 200+.

It's all academic really.

The quickest solution I can think of is this:

Ooooh, a photo of the aerodynamic model of the Mk3.

got to love this, coming from a guy who owns a mk4 which is slower fatter and bigger than a mk3

Cd.A is the drag coefficient x frontal area, and gives a better idea of aerodynamics than just Cd.

Mk 1 Cd.A = 0.83
Mk 2 Cd.A = 0.70
Mk 3 Cd.A = 0.66
Mk 4 Cd.A = 0.70
Mk 5 Cd.A = 0.76

I think you'll find the mk3 is less brick like than the mk2 and mk4.

Brilliant (although the MK2 was alot faster than the MK3). I'm going to buy a MK3 VR6 in that case.

Its amazing how defensive the mk3 haterz get when we start fighting back 

If you're going to take the piss out of a mk3, at least get your facts straight first.

Yes a mk2 might be quicker than a mk3, but at the end of the day who cares? Most of these cars are daily drivers that we have the occasional giggle in.

No one's backtracking, I don't see anyone taking back what they said. Losing an argument so you use a 'cop out' like that, isn't it fun

I see two sides to this -Mk3 owners bite too easily, I know this cos I always did (but screw everyone else, Ive owned mks 2, 3 and 4 and the mk3 is my favourite all rounder). Also, Ant is a protagonist and loves a reaction, dont rise to it. 

Anyway, leccy windows............
