what do you think was/is the best EVER Golf?
« on: 15 January 2013, 19:38 »
just a bit of fun.. what do you think in your opinion was the best golf ever made?

based on everything.. looks, handling, performance etc?

i've only ever driven two golfs, a mk3 8v and mk3 16v so i can only say I'm gonna start with mk3 16v 3dr! (although i'm a future mk1 boy.. give it time :)

Of the Golf's I've driven and straight out of the box, an Edition 30, looks wise the mk5 is the best looking GTi they have ever made imo, and the Ed 30 is a lot of fun to drive. I haven't driven a mk5 R32 or anything above a mk5 so cant comment on the R  :wink:

I have to agree!  :grin: you're too kind

Seriously though, I'd probably say the mk2 for being available in awd and capable of carrying many of the good parts from a mk3, and the mk3 for supplying the parts.  :grin:

It's hard to what is the actual best one from the factory but the mk2 G60 16v synchro Limited was very desirable in stock form.
