Yea a Mk 2 Driver is a good bet or a smaller engined Mk 3.

Hey, i have just got a oak green mk2 golf gti . Its got quick shift, shrick cam, chipped, full stainless exhaust, its slammed on full gemax suspension, momo steerin wheel, white dials, its got the 2 light grill on ot insted of the 4. Its looks good. The bloke i got it off is a bit of a tit the clutch is shot on it rear calipers fcuk'd, and it needs a few bits here and there for its mot which i can do because i work in a garage.....not a bad car for £200 is it? Heres my problem, its a 5 door and i keep comparin it to the 3 doors which i think look better. is there anything else i can do to the inside and outside of my 5 door to make it look even better? is this possible

cheers

yoyoyo! Im looking for a first car and wondering what to get. Im looking to tune a golf mk3 or mk4 is better but I will do this for my second car. Im wondering what would be a good first car? (I probabley wont tune it because I will save for a golf mk4?? 

 Ps. I don't want to buy a golf for a first because I will probabley crash it when its tuned

Im 20 now and been driving since i was 17 and i got refused insurance on my recently purchased golf Mk2 GTi 16v til im 21, luckily for me thats only a couple of weeks time but it might be something to consider taking into account if your of that age (just guessing here).

Considered a mk1 mate 1.3s are still great fun, cheap, well made and with some springs you can really chuck em about....

mine is only a 1.4 and i think many agree it looks far better than your average 1.4.

Something like mine would be a great first car, or a mk2 1.3 for the older skool look. Otherwise, look at a polo as well. You'l get a 1 litre or 1.1 polo which will be nippy enough and can still look cool.

 Just thought ide say, YOUR GOLF IS WELL SEXY!!!!     Just making sure but is your golf your first car??? If so whats insurance like because I see its lowered with alloys and muffler tip

hummm....well now ive gone old skool too i'd say a small engined mk2 or mk3
i had a ford orion back at 17, and to be honest i wish i got a VW looking back at it now.

fairly bulletproof, generally easy to work on yourself (which is the big plus point for most things)
and fairly cheap to do up to a decent spec without paying over the odds.
insurance is gonna be a killer whatever tho....

oki I think ide rather get a mk3 because as my insurance comes down I will tune it abit Or I might end up doing it up then selling it for a vr6 because what ive seen off them is awsome.... (when im older )

i would think mk3 would be cheaper on insurance than a civic to be honest.
