Hello Everyone,

Having spent the last 3 years with the Peugeot GTi fraternity, I have hopefully "seen the light" and decided to go German.  I sold my 306 GTi-6 only yesterday and am now in the market for a Mk2 Golf GTi (only preference being that it is black and 3dr )  Im sure that this forum will provide me with everything I need to know about anything VW golf related, and I will be spending most of my time routing through the for sale section trying to find "the one".  If anyone has any other good sources for finding un-abused Mk2s I would appreciate the advice!

Many Thanks
Faraz

Welcome.

Odd choice as I would consider the 306 to be a far better and faster car than the Mk 2!

Indeed the 306 is a far faster car than the Mk2, but in terms of appeal and presence I feel the Mk2 has the edge over the 306.  Its not all about speed anyway. I also recently started a new job and seeing 20MPG driving to and from work was making me feel physically sick.  Im not expecting a massive improvement in fuel economy with a Mk2, but its one of those cars that has always made me think "i want one of them".

Welcome 

You just missed out on a tidy black MK2 16v in the classifieds here. You may want to try these sites for MK2's

Neaty mate personally I have never liked the 306 but just thought the guy is in for a culture shock. The Gti 6 is a very good car!

I have experienced both, and find the Mk2 not far off the 306 in terms of quality.  Had a 205 GTi before the 306, now that was truly like something out of the flintstones in terms of refinement.  Im sure the golf wont give me too much of a shock.

@ greenouse - ta for the links. will have a sift thru them
