No question 16v. End of debate

[VW BUSH]

How about a Mk2 16v....

[Gti_Jamo]

Depends what you want the car for and how you drive. Your not going to come across understeer in a vr unless your driving like a lunatic which you won't be on the public roads. 16 valves will see you changing gear alot under normal driving whereas a vr will go everywhere in 5th gear if you want it to. Vr is the better cruiser by a long way, feels nicer to drive and the engine gives off far less vibrations than a 16v. Best engine for the mk3. Chains are only expensive if your paying someone else to fit them and the vr engine is pretty simple to work on. All in all the vr6 is a far better car than a valver but will cost you more to buy, insure and run.

What?
Unless you drive like you are taking your gran to church, you will suffer understeer most days in a VR6, wet or dry.

Most people will have to pay to sort the chains as it is a complex job, VR engine is far from simple to work on tbh.

Most days lol? Well ive had mine a year and never had any issues with understeer in the wet or dry. You go into any corner in the wet in any gti to quick your gonna get it though. Understeer is the fault of the driver more than the car under normal driving conditions. However, on a track, on its limits - a 16v would be the better choice.

Guess its all about competence and the tools you have at hand. I find them fairly simple compared to other engines i've worked on.
