I am the one who voted for the Mk4. I can see the appeal of a nice Mk1 or 2 but they are few and far between now. I've had my car for over two years now and i'm still not bored with it. I find it's just the right mix of performance and comfort. I have driven a Mk5 which was very nice (although seemed to have a cheap feeling interior) but I would need to drive one for a longer period to make a more informed decision.
