Anyone ever seen a drag race between the two?

Mk4 was as a guess better suited to the track, lets be honest a std mk3 would be all at sea on a track in terms of handling.
Are you serious?....the mk3 is no lotus i'll grant you but the mk4 is a total shambles in the handling dept.

Mk4's have lots of problems. I'd say it's the most unreliable golf of them all.

Mk4 = Utter pants in all but R32 form. Well made though.  Out of all the golfs the Mk4 would be the one I

would avoid.  Sorry.

Ever driven a mapped MK4? Pisses on all mk3's without significant engine work.

Having owned both standard I have to disagree, they're both as bad as each other. Saying the MK3 handles better than a MK4 is like saying you'd rather take a bath in cow sh!t than horse sh!t.

Nah..sorry but my headlight has never exploded for no reason nor has my mk3 suffered total electrical failure unlike my brothers mk4... i get very tired of seeing the mk3 berated but i'm afraid to say its a much better car than either the mk2 or mk4.... and i'm aware i'll get some flack for that.
