Mk1 v Mk2 v Mk3 etc

[J.stafford16v]

To be fair to the mk3 they did have to stick a cat on it (abit like ramming a pair of socks up your exhaust pipe), however that doesn't excuse the sloppy handling and the weight gain. Do think the back end on the mk3 is alright but they got the front end wrong.
Now the mk2 handles well is nice and light, with 16v is no slouch and I reckon for a car of 15 years plus it doesn't do to badly again the modern competion, and it is a car that with stands alot of abuse. After all how many 205 gti do you see now, apart from if you work at a breakers.

Nobody has mentioned the mk3 in vr6 form

[Stu.750]

MK1 s are purest of the form but slowly rotting away

MK2 they got the mix dead rite but now are slowly getting rarer

MK3 big heavier bit slower and not as GTI as the otehr 2 but prices are geting cheaper so attitudes may change

  and yes it is 7am an no ive not been to bed yet

Probably because he asked about the gti's.

True, but we should really compare the top of the range for each model, otherwise its not fair

In that case Corin the Rallye or G60 would win!

No we are comparing like to like!

aye i owned a 205 gti for 7 years , and compared to the reliabilty of my golf , it was s**t!!! , given i owned it before the golf too as well that says it all imo , the pug had 88k on it when i got it and i replaced soo much on it through the years i had an A4 folder full of reciepts , now my golf has 168k on the clock , last two mot's its gone through with out a problem and is still as strong as an ox , ive not had to do much work on it either. says it all imo about the mk2

Maybe Len, but those cars aren't actually UK spec as such

Except of course the Rallye SE which was made specifically for the UK market. Ok, it's LHD still, but clocks are still mph.
