You clearly NO NOTHING about cars as anyone that does wouldn't ask how to get an ashtray out.

I drag some things up when people try to make others look stupid.
You can't talk to people like idiots if can't do it yourself.
Its called talking a good shop but not running one

id like to say, having driven Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 GTIs, it really dont care for the suspension on the Mk3.  It feels sloppy and you wallow around (relatively).  Handling is a not an exact science like some would have it, but alot to do with the feel of the car.  A good handling car allows you to faster in a corner partly because you feel more confident about doing so, it does what you say when you say it.

The best handling car of the bunch IMO is actually the Mk1 Scirocco, which i attribute to the driver being slightly further back and lower.

and as for the original 8v timings, i dont believe ANY so called timing that havnt been done on proper kit.  Its easy to settle, get yourself upto Santa Pod and get some proof

MK3 stock handling is sh!t.

nuff said.

Still better than a Corsa...

Stock Mk3's handle pretty well, aslong as they don't have a massive lump of pig-iron up front. Or haven't been tuned to be executive expresses. Or don't have a VR6 badge on the front, basically.


I've heard if you buy one you do get a crash course in Ashtray cleaning tho. Which is fair enough. If my car understeered like a VR6 I'd probably park it on the drive and play with the ashtrays aswell.

No they don't. I can't be bothered to argue Bodhi.
Go and drive a mk1 or mk2 golf gti, you will feel the difference straight away.

I don't want to tho. That's why I bought a Mk3 instead of a mint Mk2.

I know golfvr6 comes out with some contraversial stuff sometimes, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to side with him here - VR6s are verrry nice cars... yes, they're a bit heavy at the front which does cause the car to plough on forward sometimes at corners, but sort out the slightly sloppy stock suspension and all you're really left with is some extra wear on your front tyres from the weight of the V6 lump .  Besides, they go like the clappers.

Mk1s and 2s are wonderful-handling cars, but the VR6 is a different style of car. You shouldn't try to compare them like that.   Earlier (lighter) golfs are more "chuckable", but you don't buy a VR6 if you want an extremely nimble car.  What they lack in light-footedness, they make up for in sheer up-front grunt.
