just looking at them now, is the 16v really worth the extra dough?

you can pick up valver for around £1000, but they have a few things that need sorting. Pay an extra £500-1000 and you get a mint condition valver. Not sure what to do. Guess it depends on what the problems are and if they would cost much to fix.

Mileage, i will try and get under 100,000 but not too bothered as vw engines are bomb proof! :cool:

Obvious thing to do is try and get a drive in both to see what YOU think, i'm more than happy with my 8v (£750 on a P Plate), has a few things to do but it's a solid car.......

Is there much difference in stifness or weight of the 3 dr vs 5dr shell? It sounds like a 5dr is likely to have less rust.

5 door will handle better as its stiffer.not sure if you will be able to feel the difference or not but thats what iv been told..im not sure on weights.



Hehehe, stiffer. . .  another 85Kg's stiffer maybe!

3 doors ftw!

I'd say too stiff don't do you any favours anyway to be honest, I can't jack up a corner of my golf, its one side or nothing!

They're rarer but still just a 16V with a fancy cloth interior & a red GTi badge on the front! :wink:

not worth extra in my eyes, interior is one of the worst iv seen, so for me it would have to go, hence no point to me having a anniversary  :evil:
