As above some suffered with the issue but if it has been done or isn't effected you'll be fine. 180 is reasonable to me on a map and the MK4's are really comfy and nice cruisers. They aren't a nippy runabout in my opinion though, for example I had a slight burn up with some Alfa last night, off the line and round the roundabouts he just about had me but on the bypass I just had the upperhand.
So I'd guess your MK2 would be more like the Alfa if you get me, two different cars.
Mine personally handles like sh!t but it needs laser 4 wheel tracking and new shocks.
