To give the usual answers:
mk2 abf bestthingeverforserious.
A3 140 TDI S-line golfindragyouguys
2.0 8v hasmoretorquewhydon'tyoubelieveme
Mk5 GTI cangetnewfor5khellaserious

To give an actual answer:
Dom's mk3 is mint so it would be a good choice :afro: If you still want a newer car make sure the mk4 you go for is in good condition and the common problems have all been sorted.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Mk3 is more fun but less tuneable.

If it was me it'd be a mk3 all day long!

Cheers jimp. I would love to have doms car but itl most certainly be sold by the time I've got the money. And that's my problem with buying a mk4, I've got to spend at least 2k coz i want a half decent one with mileage under 100k

Why not find a mk3 1.8t, I wouldn't mind one of them.

Mines got 140k and runs and drives sweet. As long as its been serviced well etc then mileage shouldnt be a problem.

 I certainly never let it bother me.

yh i know theres loads of high mileage well looked after cars but i think coz most of my cars have been under 80k its a force of habbit (youknow what i mean lol)
