Which one...

[monzablue16v]

16v, 16v limited or g60 mk2 anything else is just a time killer they had in Wolfsburg to make the best selling underpowered car.
Mk1 classic car but not for me
Mk2 got it absolutely bang on
Mk3 Euro box, euro imposed safety this and heavy that, handles like a barge! heavy car engines not powerful enough.
Mk2 v mk3 well lighter, lower, better handling, better looking, and no euro imposed balls added to mk2's

Every Golf is different and different folks like different cars but for me Mk2 everytime.

And as was said above compare mk2 16v to mk3 16v and mk2 8v to mk3 8 valve otherwise why bother? scared the mk2 will make more sense? we all know they're a better car! !!!!

Hahahaha,

ok, plenty of ammo there....thanks.

Yep I already have myself the car ive wanted for years, big bumper 8v 3-door gti, even got it in my bestest colour. Its the dark met. blue (almost black), anyone know what the colours called? But my mate has just gone and got a mk3, fool. So im gonna go out and laugh as i cruise past in 3rd... Now i just need to work on getting more than 18mpg, its getting quite expensive an ive only had it two weeks. poo.

Is it the same colour as mine, LA5U - Royal blue metallic? Look at the sticker in your owners manual, or the sticker in the boot, under the carpet. If your car is a 1990/91 it's likely to be.

18mpg - I know what you mean I'm lucky if I get that from my 8v. The trouble is having that much under right foot is irresistable. It's like being in hospitial connected to a self morphine dosage, you kind a get used to having a quick fix on tap...........

Seriously I've had both and I love both of them, hoewever for an out ant drivers car the MK1 wins for me. They are awesome around the lanes, great off the line and so cool looking.

My MK2 is currently sitting on standard suspension, should be dropped 40mm by the weekend (fingers crossed) also got a set of struts & bushes going on all round by the end of the month. I expect to see a major increase in handling so my opinion may change shortly.
