16v.

Only people with 8 valves say differently.  Apparently they 'feel' faster.

Feel faster, but aren't.

Grow a set of balls and get a 16v, or a vr6 lump!

Enough said.

got a mk3 8v and 16v...

No comparision...

Completely different to drive..
cmpletely different steering/ gearchange/ engine..

If you just drive around town and the occasional b road just get a 8v... it sounds like a tractor when pushed hard abit tho...

more like a diesel the way it doesnt have much to give over 4000rpm too.

Or if you want it to be quick and do normal driving ondual carriageways and stuff go for a 16v... as its a hell of a lot quicker when you actually get to use it.

Im 19........ I pay 1900 Third party as it is, group 14, think i could afford group 16, exactly.

Case Closed.

Next is a 1.8turbo though. Dont fancy a 16v. Prefer the turbo wwww tish ;)

No offence.
