Nope the mk4 is!

The mk3 is just miss-understood

That's the opinion from the people that have never drove or owned one.

I really like them. If I was going to get another mk it would only be a mk5 r32

in my opinion the mk3 was the crossing over point to more mature upmarket hatch

the mk4, well i would agree is the worst lol!

coming from a history of alot of french hot hatch lunacy, i love my mk3 vr6, its comfy, spacious and roars when it wants to, fits the bill :)

But the mk4 has the r32, the 2.8 4motion and the 1.8t gti

Yes the mk3 was great for it's time but it isn't now, where as the mk4 is still good even for today. The 1.8t was so good it went in every vag car!

Depends where you ask the question, the mk3 is the best all rounder, old skool looks with some modern touches. The Mk4, in my eyes anyway, is fugly and fat.
