Mk4 TDI 110/115

[T_J_G]

Give me reasons for and against getting one, over my mk2 GTI (that i can't afford to keep)

Hopefully it'll be a 3 door, but would consider 5....

Bear in mind i'm 19 year old student.

Becasue they're GT's do they have any 'uprated' parts...

How come you can't afford to keep the Mk2 GTi, but can afford a Mk4 ?
Even if you have to spend say £500 to keep the Mk2 on the road, that's still less than the 3 or 4k a Mk4 will cost you.

not sure about the 110/115 GT versions and i think its only the trim level you get over the non GT's

the 130 and 150 had sport suspension (150 has same as 1.8T) except they are both group 13 which i expect is why you're looking at the 110/115

130 doesn't have the sport suspension as standard

heres a link to parkers which give you the list of options for the 115 6 speed

Well I could do that, but i think I want a newer car with a few more luxuries(air con/heaters that work/electrics..). My mk2 has no luxuies everything is non-electric and so on.

I've looked at insurace on the 130's and i'm not ruling them out just yet.

isnt a mk2 digi gti group 13? so insurance would be simular to a mk4 gttdi130, only thing that would majorly effect it would be the worth of the mk4...

Yeah you're right mate. Insurance is a bit more.

Saying that the 150 BHP TDI's are registering as 130's with my insurer so i could afford one of those... a 150 BHP diesel would be perfect.

If you can get the 150 GT TDi go for it! I hear they are good.

I am struggling to belive that an insurance company would list a 150 TDi  the same as the 130 TDi. Someone correct me if im wrong.

I've ran 3-4 seperate registration through and that'sthe case, unless all of them are lying about their cars 

I may look into the 130/150's as with a remap there isn't much to seperate them.
