It's the amount of time and effort you have put in though as well, plus I don't agree it is that easy to find another good one.

I got something newer/modern/reliable etc and didn't use the mk2 for a while. Look what happened - dead mk4 and me driving the mk2 all the time :grin:

It's just a car blue :tongue:

I debated sellin my golf for so long before I eventually decided to do it. If you have run out of love for it then it is time to change. Id just keep lookin for the right replacement first. once it turns up then it wont be so bad gettin rid of the mk2.

A few years ago I went through the same dilemma - wanted something more refined and comfy.  I went to look at various other cars.  I never did get rid largely down to lack of time and lazyness.  Now I am so glad I didn't, and the love has returned  :grin:

With hindsight I would have defo regretted it.  For me the "ooh thats a nice car" you get in the pub car park and from passers by is priceless.  The old car jokes i get dont quite balance things out  :laugh:

If you can, KEEP!

Im seriously sick of driving the mk2. Im after something more refined.

I'm a Mini man who's hoping to buy a mkII soon. At the weekend I drove a 1979 850cc Mini City from Warwickshire to North Yorkshire and back for the Moorland & Coastal Tour. You call a Golf unrefined?  :shocked:
All depends where your head is I suppose......

agree with jv. it won't be that easy to find another straight mk2. how about spending a little on the bright blue to further refine it? stock 1.8t engine swap? that would start every time plus give more power.
how about some dynamatt under the carpets and doorcards to quiten down the road noise?
i guess if you're thinking of selling then you'll never know until you actually watch somebody else drive it away how you're going to feel?
i say keep it :smiley:

Blue - go drive a Mondeo, perhaps hire one for a few days.

You will never sell your car then!

I think sometimes it a case of the grass is always greener but as said you'll never know unless you do sell, its a difficult dilema and I'm sure many of us with the older GTI's go through the same thing but good luck and I hope the choice you make is the best one for you  :smiley:
