All 8v owners by any chance?
Personally i would go for a 16v, its a much better car, engine wise and suspension.
Lets just get rid of some myths that seem to float around most golf forums :-
1. 8v is a better handling car than the 16v
FACT - The stock suspension for the 16v is lower and stiffer.
2. 8v has more low down torque than a 16v
FACT - The 16v has more torque and BHP all the way up the rev range.
8v owners like to say that their car are more torquey lower down the rev range because they know they own an inferior car to the 16v.
In my opinion having driven both 8 and 16v, the 8v is exactly the same as 16v up to 4000rpm, then the 8v dies while the 16v takes off.
The ONLY thing in favour of the 8v is the later(88 onwards) digifant cars can run on normal unleaded.
However its easy to mod a 16v to accept normal unleaded without power loss.
ITS GOT TO BE A 16V
