it all depends what you mean by best car really.
The mk5 is obviously the best car as it's got all the mod cons, is good to drive from what i've seen/read, is safe as houses and hopefully has a better level of reliabilty than the mk4.
I'd say the mk2 is the better hot hatch tho'.
i voted mk3 as it's the best of both worlds and the majority is always wrong.
