Mk 2 >> Mk3 - Should I?
« on: 03 February 2007, 09:46 »
I have a Mk2 GTi 8v and am thinking of changing to a Mk3 Gti 8v or 16v. Should I?
What are the big probs with Mk3 as my MK 2 is indestrucatble :evil: Your views please.

Dont do it, unless you want a quieter car.

Mk3 is heavyier,slower and with boat like handling compared to a mk2 (as standard anyway)...but you get a more refined (older man's motor!!!!) in the mk3...
have a look through the mk3 board for an idea of problem's and also a guide for buying one

I wouldnt do it either, had a Mk3 GTi 8v when I joined these forums and it simply isnt a patch on my Mk2 GTi 8v. Not as quick, handled like a barge in comparison and of course doesnt have the retro looks  :wink:

The only time mk3s are acceptable are as VR6's or cabs..........or cabs with VR6's!
