Not happy! I found out earlier that my new golf is an 8v and not 16v!!!

We must have assumed it was 16 cus of the badge and didn't know by looking at the engine as it's our first one. Not that it makes a dramatic difference, I just thought I had the better one  :cry:

Oh yes it does! A 16v is hugely faster! :grin:

Words cannot describe what's going through my mind right now.

Looks nice though.

The previous owner was so ashamed he put a 16v badge on.

What are the differences then? I'm not fussed about the 16v being faster, my previous car was a 1.4 polo so the golf gti is a big step up as it is!

It was a bargain, the seller didn't brag about it being a 16v, it was mentioned once. Do the 16v's look different from the outside?

Feeling less welcome now I have an 8v  :sad:

 :rolleyes:

2 possible reason spring to mind.

1. As I mention above in my post.
2. 16v being worth more/more desirable, put the badges on to get more money for it.

But as long as you're happy, enjoy GTI ownership.  Welcome.
