Mk3 lighter and FWD. Mk4 AWD (although not all the time) Mk4 will lose more power and more MPG through the transmission. Mk4 will probably come with leather/xenons/climate etc.

However mk3's are gay and mk4's are the best.

4motion may be useful in bad weather too...

The 4Mo is 200 bhp standard but can be mapped to near R32 spec with next to no modding, however, as said before, the so called 4 wheel drive system eats a lot of that power.
The VR6 with £200- £300 of mods will see the 200 bhp mark and sounds soooooo much better than the 4mo
I had a little play with an S3 in my VR the other day and he couldn't catch me, same with the Leon Cupra (Not the 'R'  :rolleyes:)
And I went up against a Zafira VXR...... 1st into 3rd he tanned my arse but by the time I was at 5.5k revs in 3rd, he was dropping into 4th and I was back on his bumper  :shocked:
Love my VR, go buy one now  :grin:
