A MK4 is very good in terms of build quality but as a driving tool, it falls far short of what it should have been.



For what it is worth (very little, here, I guess), I too am a Mod on a site (nothing to do with automobiles).

It is, however, a very subjective subject matter - every member will have their own opinions.

What we DON'T do, as Mods, is slag every opinion that is different to our own - because that is just like kids in a playground.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. You are a Mod - not a bloody car design guru.

So rest assured I'll keep my gob shut in future.

Meanwhile, I would suggest you rename this site "A Golf GTI site run by smart-arsed Audi drivers"...........

[What have you done to your MK4 then to turn it into a driving machine as my MK4 was a million light years behind the Audi I currently drive and that was even after I lowered it and fitted a RARB

Wouldn't buy a Golf even if I had the money.  Audi FTW  :laugh: :laugh:

It says you are a Mod, so with respect, my friend,  I would ask you to read posts properly.

I said "each one to his own"...

What have I done to make my car drivable (in MY opinion).....?
In three words - NOT become YOU..... :sad:

I did read your post properly and hence my question about what have you done to it......... :smiley:  I'm assuming its still standard reading your reply.

A MK4 is very good in terms of build quality but as a driving tool, it falls far short of what it should have been.



and a diesel audi is the epitomy of driving pleasure?

the mk4 is loads better than the mk3. and that's what majormajor meant if i read it right, as a tool for driving not a toy for driving

Quite how you managed to lose all of your toys over Rhys simply asking how you made yours so good I don't know.

I would suggest you move away from the pc for a little while, go and breath in some of that fresh air and learn to accept that people other than you will have an opinion and question yours on an OPEN forum. Mod or not.

Would I own a mk6 - Yes but it would be a GTD or a bluemotion. I would buy it as a daily, because I know how they are made, and how stringent testing is on the diesel models. Would I buy it to mod it? No, it simply doesn't warrent doing in my book.
