toyota mr2 swap for golf!

[Simpson]

as above a mate is selling a clean one for a grand, fsh, 123000 sweet engine, i am tempted to sell golf and purchase what you think?

KEEP THE GOLF!!!!!!

Sorry, just a bit biased there 

[rowlers]

odd question for a golf gti forum mate!

you'll only get one answer on here, keep the golf!

[Simpson]

true i realize it is a little biased but comparing a flying brick to a mid engined sports car lol

[Brads MK2 GTI]

You really think a MR2 is a real sports car?

id sell the golf,  get the mr2



and then learn how to cut womens hair.

that surely is just a rumour that they are a hairdressers car, i can't imagine why, i wouldn't know but from looking at them i would say a midengined 154 bhp car that can look like a cheap Ferrari was more of a sports car than a hot hatch of the 80s but who am i to judge, don't get me wrong i love my golf to bits, but you cannot compare them really, the proof is in the driving and i havent driven one yet so i cannot comment

yeah and its rear drive which makes it a proper car and alot more fun than a golf, if it was a mk1 you were gonna sell then maybe id say no but its a mk2, id have any rear drive car with 154 bhp over a golf so i dont know what im sayin to be fair.

If its really clean, and you really want it, then get it...but...wouldn't it be better to look for a Turbo'd version? They kick out a lot more power and are a lot more tuneable.
Yeah they are Rear Wheel Drive, but as the engine is in the middle, they are a bit tough to drive, and if you floor it too soon in a corner you'll end up in a field, or worse, a house or shop (could be handy if its a curry's, but then you can't take a HD TV, the boots aren't big enough!!)
I would personally wait and see if there is anything better that you can get, hey, you might be able to afford a Skyline GTR or something, they are getting cheaper all the time and are insanely rapid..
Although, I would try to find a way to keep the golf and have something for a bit of Touge action (for some reason I really like the old Nissan 200SX S13, maybe its because it has 170bhp as standard and they can be picked up for as little as £500 - £1000, and put up to 210bhp for around £300... )

i drove my mates mk2 mr2 (170 odd bhp na one) and it was a lot nicer than a mk2 golf! they are really well built and solid and fairly quick very good in corners, obviously i was nowhere near the limit of it though, apparently they let go without much warning

You really think a MR2 is a real sports car?

err yes
