They look awesome with Little persuasion and have all the features you want. ABS, Air con, Airbags, side impact beams in the doors, much more crumple zones than the feeble MK2. so much much more safer. They are also galvanized so they dont crumble like the MK1's or MK2's and at the end of the day, a sorted MK3 just looks f**king awesome :cool: Bit like mine really :laugh:

Sad f**ks may say they are heavy and slow and on the whole, they are right. In standard form they are a bit lacking. But i challenge anyone to drive my car and tell me it doesn't kick ass!!  And i mean that hole heatedly :cool: my car seriously kicks ass!!!  f**k knows if its just the miles its done that have loosened it up, but it f**king flies!!!!! I kid you not :cool: I have taken on a few MK 2's and killed em both!(one was a valver) And a few MK3 16v's and seen them off as well :grin: One guy just would believe my car was a standard 8v with only a drilled airbox and green air filter :grin:

Hi all ive owned a various number of mk1s, 2s and 3s and have loved them all (apart from a white f reg mk2 1.3 that was a real pain in the arse) and at the end of the day whats it matter what anyone else thinks if you like driving your vw thats all that mater's. At the moment ive got a mk3 vr6 and im loving it. Its got 136k on the clock, body works great, every thing works, gear change is a little sloppy now but oh well. My last mk2 gti had 140k and drove mint and my last mk1 had 140k and was the same try finding a rover with 140k on the clock thats in mint condition with every thing working......... :smiley:

Mk3's are not as much fun or as quick as mk2's.

The reason why I chose the MK3 was because IMO, it looks better, is more comfortable and is better on the motorway.

Ive never had a french car due to the fact there made from bog rolls and sticky back plastic. I had 1 moment of madness and brought a rover 600 ti it really was fast but every thing broke gear box eleki windows, alarm, suspension, brakes and aircon so as you can guess i sold it very quickly and came back to what i know best vws..... :grin:
