The first golf gti was a 8v. Nothing wrong with 2 valves per cylinder, top fuel dragsters are making 8000 HP and they are not even ohc.

16v is quicker than a lot of the newer 'hot hatches' such as the saxo VTS and such.

so having a 14yr old car that can still cut the mustard is pretty awesome.

u wanted a simple answer and it's 16v all the way. u never asked in terms of fuel consumption, but i feel i can drive the 16v as a normal car under 4k rpm and like an animal over it!!  ;D

they're both wicked dubs, and an amazing driving experience. Take 10 minutes to look through some of the threads, there are loads of 8v owners on here still getting wicked kicks out of their cars. you can always mod to go faster. see if you can get a test drive and make up your mind from how it feels, don't be put off by the 8v versus 16v debates on this site, I've afeeling they'll be going on here for years without a winner ;)

there is a winner. its the 16v everytime.

the 8v is nice and respectable. but the 16v is a different game altogether.
