Mk2's only look good as a 3 door! Fact!

Now with kids in the back you really have to have 4 doors.

So I look at it this way for practicality you have to have 4 doors, therefore as the Mk2 looks naff with 4 doors dont buy one!

It's a mint black 5 door gti with small bumpers with g60 wheels. It's soooooooo clean tho and my plan was to sent the wheels off to be banded. So it will be a mint black mk2 already on coilys with banded g60,s. I will post up the pics he sent me of it after work.

I always drive to the speed limit when I have my kids in the car but you never no what other drivers on the road are like.

Does it have ABS?

IMHO I think your present car looks great anyway so why go backwards?

I just love the older look of the cars and always wanted one. Plus I fancy change.

I think many would, which is why I'd be suspicious of this mk2 :P

Tricky one.....

I have owned 7 Golf GTI MK2's.....Great drivers car, excellent on the country roads with hardly and bodyroll....Good cars.

MK3's....Designed with safety in mind due to the weight of them.

I had my daughter from the age of 4 when she started coming out in my MK2 GTI's.  Also when my daughter was born I had a Pug 205 1.9 GTI which are far less safe than a MK2 GTI.

Get the MK2 bud.....If it is not for you then you can easily sell it and get another MK3   :wink:
