The 1.8T is pretty poor in standard form, but chuck £300 at it and you'll have a 200bhp/240lbft car which will destroy your 16v

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 better

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.
