What has that got to do with it ? It's still a mk2. There are rhd ones aswell, don't know anyone that owns one though.

The biggest fact is that if you need ABS to be able to drive a car without crashing then you can't be a very good driver. Every car I've driven with it has felt much worse than my mk2 without ABS.

Aircon - Good for keeping you cool...bad for fuel economy and power.

I can't be arsed to read why this is being argued but it's no doubt that mk3's came with and mk2's didn't. Fact is the mk3 is a lard arse because of all these extra creature comforts. Like has been said before, not entirely worthy of a GTI badge.


Ohh, I feel much better for that  :smiley:

abs has saved my life on a couple of occasions. anyone who says they can control breaking better than an abs unit is lying.

I've probably driven some sh!te cars with ABS then. Everytime I've driven one when it's icy I find they lock up easier...too easy  :sad:

That's the famous pic aint it?!  :laugh:

I'm not arguing! This all stems from my genuine desire to have a Mk2 but the reason I didnt coz as far as I knew you couldnt get one with ABS and Air-con. So I got a Mk3.
I disqualify the G60 and Rallye because they are LHD and I wouldnt want one of those!

So if anyone knows of a Mk 2 16v with both ABS and Air-con that is RHD please let me know!

I've seen Mk2's with air con. I would be tempted to get one myself.
Some Mk2's have been listed on ebay as having ABS, but I'm not entirely sure they know what they're talking about. Might have been on late run-out GTIs.

Huwmk2 has a valver with air-con unsure about ABS, but his car is very well spec'd.
