i've had a mk2'16v' and a mk1'c', both were nimble & fun, but neither had any refinement. the mk3 is leagues ahead when it comes to a comfortable relaxing car. its quiet & smooth and you can drive it for hours on the motorway without it tiring you out - my mk1 was so noisey and bumpy on the motorway, plus any sidewinds would have you fighting at the wheel. The mk2 was more refined, but still had a very very basic early 80's dash which upt me off another one, the mk3 dash is solid and much more modern. They look wicked on the outside too, esp when lowered. i love the look of a black mk3 gti because the tinted rear glass makes it even blacker, its such a cool car. i love mine more and more...

I am 32 and had a crappy nova for years  :cry:

Since I have had my Mk3 I smile all the time I am in it, very sad I know.

No comparison to the vauxhall piece of crap  :laugh:

yup mk3's rule!

yes mk1 and mk2 (and so on)are very good in thier own right I've driven a few cars (not a great deal but enough to know a good car from bad if you get my drift) and mk3 is a very nice drive indeed. Recently I was unable to drive my mk3 for around 3days but tonight I sat in it started her up started going and that vw satisfaction smile came back to my face! In those short few days I had forgotten how pleseant a drive my car was and wasn't expecting the uber nice drive....mmmmmmmmmgermanefficiencymmmmm

I have two of them :smiley: yes they are bricks compared to mk1/2. And silly things crap out on them like the power windows :rolleyes:
But once you know how they are put together (its lego) they are easy to mod.  Can recommend fitting an upper front strut brace and not dropping them to the floor. I do like the 'chunkyness' of them and are much more stable for cruising and long trips.
cant wait for the 16v to go in the 3dr :cool:

Best vag car ive had was a mk1 Scirocco. A much better chuckable car than the mk1 Golf imo.
And coupe vs car and all that...

My girlfriend has a 3 yr old Saxo and thats like a tin can compared to my 10 year old car, quality is one word for it.

Golfpro, have you had your bumpers etc smoothed off ? How much did it cost ?

Got to say your car looks class mate

Built to last. Yeah it has it's small problems, but it is 12 years old. Starts first time, still looks great, & pretty cheap to run & insure.
