I absolutely love the look of mk2s and I bet the handling is so much better but you can't beat a mk3 for price and the interior is betterI had a go in a mk2 16v at christmas and i liked it a lot, felt sharper on turn in than a mk3 and suprisingly quick away from the lights.

I went up against a mate's abf'd mk2 on a private airstrip and it was close until about 120 when I pulled away. Your mk3 is a bit more lardy than the mk2 was as well.
