Im going to say mk1... purely on the sexy retro look.

Yeah spot on. I've never driven one so my opinion is purely on looks but I love the boxy shape of the mk1, even the mk4 has that boxy shape but the mk5's shape is starting to look very 'rounded' to me? More like the pug 206!

if i had a choice of my mk1 or a new mk5 i would take the mk5! i think you can do alot more to them for a lot less cash, ie engine tuning, also the road noise, safety and the interior are far better! dont get me wrong i love my mk1 and unless the mk5 was for free i wouldnt change (i couldn't afford too!! lol)  :laugh:

the mk5 looks mint even in standard form, so with some phat rims and a good suspension kit your really on to a winner! give it twenty years and i may buy one!  :tongue:

As people have mentioned the mk5 would win hands down for pure safety and road noise etc. The mk1 would win hands down for handling, and just looking amazing. (I have to say that i would go for a mk1)

Although tuning wise unless something was transplanted into the mk1 there is no way you are going to get the same feeling of raw power. Mine (mk2) is on the heels (and sometimes in front) of the mk5 gti now, and i personally think that my engine is at its limit without forced induction, so there is no way that i am going to be able to keep with a mk5 if it gets tinkered with.

If i had to make a choice of which car to go for, despite all the safety and comfy ride i am a rallye slag at heart so would have to go for the mk1 and make something of it. As much as the mk5 appeals to the safety concious in me i couldn't justify the price and lack of engine noise on it.

final decision mk1 purely for that fact that it is a legend in the GTi fraternity.  :smiley:
