Mk3 1.8 Driver Vs Mk3 1.8GL
« on: 17 February 2006, 20:49 »
I have also posted this in the general forum....sorry!!!

 Hi All,

I am new here, so please be gentle.

Can anyone let me know what the difference is between the above cars.

I think it is just that the GL has EW, ESR etc

Please, please help!!!!

I'm not convinced the Driver will have the same suspension as the gti old bean - think it's just the gti's that are lowered slightly (10mm?)  :smiley:

I used to have a GL myself cos they had colour coded bumpers and stuff and it's always easier to stick a GTi interior in a GL than to get GTi bumpers fitted and painted to a driver

That said think the driver has 90 bhp to the gl's 75?? I think? I'm going on very old info as I had my GL so long ago

Gl had lots of electric stuff which was nice

GL is better, ok maybe im slightly biased owning one :smiley:. Driver came in 3dr, GL was just in 5. I think the driver was just dressed up a bit more to be a give it a gti look without the insurance. They both have the same engines mines 90bhp and engine codes ADZ. There was a revised engine on the GL with 100bhp from a 1.6 quite a nippy unit but rare.
