golf mk4 1.8t or skyline r33 gtst??
« on: 09 March 2006, 17:17 »
hi guys its my 1st post so go easy please????

Ive always had german cars like golf g60's and vr's and my current car e36 325i coupe, but now after so many years of dreaming and building up no claims iv got a decent quote on a nissan skyline r33 gtst.  But before this quote the car that i most wanted was a mk4 golf 1.8t, should it come down to it, what would you guys buy if you had the option??? 

Insurance is'nt a problem no more but obviously the golf is cheaper, when i do the comparisons it comes down to:

1.8t and 150bhp or 2.5t and 250bhp but i think that the hicas sytem in the skyline is great, both easy to tune, etc.

thanks.

i have had both , well an r32 gtr and now have golf gti turbo. you cant really compare them but over all prefer the golf as is much newer, cheaper on fuel (skyline did 15 to the gallon) and the golf is nice and reliable. but then dont get the looks in the golf like used to in the skyline. just make sure if you go for the liner you have deep pockets  :smiley:

Drove a Skyline GTS at an import centre in New Malden as i could just get insurance on it. What a disappointment! It was actually slower than the car i decided to get, a Clio 172, and it didn't handle nearly as well. Wasn't fun at all.

On top of that it may of had the toys but it was really tacky inside. Overall just all show and no go. It has to be GTR or nothing.

Having said that, i wouldn't touch a mk4 golf either.

depends on your situation mate. If your only havin the one car id get the golf for practicality and economy etc. If its a second car deffo get the skyline for the fun factor and the looks recieved.

An alternative tho could be get your skyline and the a mk2/3 maybe 8v as your daily run around. Keep the skyline garaged for lower mileage and sunny days! :wink: :cool:

the GTS's are very poor. the GTR is the best and the legend. I'd go for the mk4 :D
