What do ya wanna do? Go faster or save running costs and have a newer car.  I know if i was looking for a MK3 again I would have waited for a 16 valver with air con, instead of the 8 valve with air con and paid a bit more for a newer car, how old are you? whats the insurance gonna cost?

Go for the 16v  ;D The mk3 is not a boat if you change the suspension!  8)

I'm 28 and the insurance is gonna be about ?420 with Tesco. I can't find anyone else who comes even close to that figure.

I used to have an Impreza turbo, UK car 97 P reg. I paid ?1200 to a main dealer just for a clutch!! :o I want a car that's more reliable and cheaper to run. I've driven a couple of 8v's and they aren't that dissappointing to drive, so I may well go with the younger car.

What is everyone on about....

mk2 16v vs mk3 16v


ok... I had a mate who had a Golf mk2 16v and my brother had a Rover 420 GSI saloon.

the mk2 16v= 140bhp
420GSI (de-cat) = 150bhp ish (same as golf mk3 16v)

the Rover p!ssed all over the Golf mk2 16v.

id say the mk3 16v is quicker... 150k difference in weight i think... thats not much really... the mk3 has more bhp, more torque, better fuel management etc etc.
