Maybe if you every buy a mk4 again buy a decent one like a 1.8t or a deisel PD put some decent suspension on it and there not so bland and boaring  :wink:

Yeah definitely mate. I dont mean to sound overly negative towards the mk4 as it was a decent and well built car -I would always consider another one but as you say it would have to be a turbo and would need the suspension looking at.

I know mate they are pretty lardy standard but to be fair most cars are in standard form.My own car only has a cheap coilover set but improved it alot so says alot for the standard set up.

Id say the VR would smoke a standard 150 Mk4 and it deffo gives the 180BHP versions a hard time too because Bens VR has done just this


Not wishing to make this a willy waving comp, but mine standard gave VR's a hard time now with the map / mods not a chance.

Its a pointless comparison, vr6 was first introduced in 1992, it's an old engine compared to the 1.8T.

A standard 1.8t golf 150 is not quicker than a vr6 I had a play with my mate in his seat Leon cupra and my golf was quicker than his but mines has a filter and exhaust so standard vs standard there probably one a par the 150 golf are sh!t slow until they are remapped
