Peugeot 306 GTI-6 or MK3 GTI ... Choices Choices

I still love my Peugeot 405 Mi16!    

That handles better than any Golf!

Is your suspension still standard on the golf?

[B.I.G DUB]

errrrrrrrmmmm no i dont think it is!   

[Len]

Yes Corin. Why?

Is the Mi16's suspension standard? No! got Spax adjustables and lowered.
But I'm comparing Golfs in general and I've driven a few, with the Mi16 in standard form. Done approx 46K miles in that car and 60K miles in a 405 GTX which has same suspension as Mi16.

Because Len i wouldn't bother comparing a standard mk3 suspension with anything, its like a boat.

Driven several Mk 2's and one Mk 1 and yes they are better than a Mk 3 but still not better than an Mi16!

Yes the mk1 and mk2 are good.
The mk3 in standard form is probably one of the worst handling hot hatches i've ever driven

The Mr VR6 saying that! sacriledge!

I don't own a vr6 anymore 
I changed the suspension within 2 weeks on the vr when i bought it 4 years ago.
I've driven mk1, mk2, mk3 and a bora (does thats count?  ) and none of them go round corners like an Audi Quattro. The mk2 was very close but it was on konis and eibachs.
The Audi's i am comparing the golf's with are Coupe Quattro, 90 Quattro 20v, A4 Quattro 2.8 V6 30V, and even
my Audi 100 2.8 V6 Quattro handles bloody well for a big car, it is basically an early A6.
All the Audi's i have driven have been on standard suspension too. They all seem to go round corners like they are on rails.
I suppose the mk2 golf synchro must be the same, its hard to beat 4 wheel drive
