like this mk4 what ya think?
« on: 14 February 2008, 15:31 »
been toying with the idea of getting a MK4.

found this one and was a little smitten with the odd colour, nasty I know but it has kind of grone on me...

what do you think?

could do with lowering and some 17 inch chrome rims.

looks like a good spec for the money, only downside is that its the 1.8 and not the 1.8T

the 1.8 is 125 bhp and not that quick for a GTI, still good cars but you'll be getting left behind by GT TDI's and 1.8T's

I think you may be right, colud feel sluggish after owning a 2.0 16v MK3

1.8T it is then.

No don't look for one of those! It will make my already hard job finding one harder after Rhyso's recommendation!  :wink:

still a bit pricy on the TDi's

can get a 1.8t Gti for around £2500

The TDi models seem to be much newer and henc more in the £4k region. and the high BHP versions seem to have a premium.

Always been a petrol head rather than a diesel head anyway, I like revs. :laugh:
