You've got to remember that the mk3 is also heavier than the mk2 and that generally an 8v engine produces more usable torque than a 16v engine...it's not as simple as 138bhp vs 150bhp

Shut up, you sound stupid.

Value-wise, buy a Golf3.

Best solution, buy a Golf2 and put the Golf3 2.0 16V motor in it.

Search ABF on here for lots more information.

The G2 16V runs K-jet, which is archaic and thirsty mechanical injection.

G3 16V runs Digi3, which is good quality electronic management and will deliver 40MPG on a light foot.

Have a look at Paul86S2's posts: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=17220

He has a well-sorted G3 16V track car.

What colour stripes are you going to put on it?

MK2 is the better choice, even more so with a ABF fitted

And DH in all his glory strikes again

Ignoring your complete inability to come across as anything other than an arrogant tw@t, I have to agree with dropping an ABF in a mk2....so much so that when a virtually identical question was asked yesterday it was the suggestion that I gave....

Buy a mk3 and a mk2.
Chop the front of the mk3 onto the back of the mk2. Put both engines in the front.
You now have a mk 3 + mk2 = 4.0 32v 8 cylinder mk5

To give a proper answer, there's not much in it tbh. I'd go for whichever is both in budget and in the best condition. Plenty of good condition mk3s around for reasonable money while good condition mk2s are becoming more expensive.

..."more usable torque"? Really!

Bring out the graph.

Oh and the MK2 is 139 BHP.
