Bored with A3!.

[Mr.Blonde]

Hey,im getting a bit bored with my A3,its a lovly car but i want something more fun really.ive had a Mk1 gti golf and pug 205 before and i loved driving them.so im thinking of going back to old skool,maybe another golf or a mk2 with a Vr lump in it etc.whats peoples views if i should or not?.

I've got a mk2 gti 16v, put out 183 bhp on the rollers, awesome car! Def reccomend getting one, especially with a vr in it... or a 20vt! I've also got a 310 bhp mtm s3, the golf might not be as fast, but it's much much more fun to drive!

Check out the clasified on the usual vw forums, be some nice cars for sale there:

As much as I love my Mk2 Golf, it's really fun to drive and all, but I've got use to the creature comforts of electric everything and climatecontrol, plus the effortless midrange performance of a turbocharger from both my S3 and Passat TDI. It's quite tiresome to find a road where I can use the 16v power in the Golf, nothing happens until after 4k revs, and that's way past the speed limit for the local roads around me in 2nd gear.

[Mr.Blonde]

Yeah baby!!
Not sure about the "....the golf might not be as fast..." comment - lighter car with a good engine........... I think the jury's still out on that one?!
(thinking a standard S3 here - not yours Olly)

I wouldn't go VR - it's a heavy engine for a mk1/2 - been there, done it - yet more understeer to try and deal with.
16/20V, with a turbo would be my choice - the 16V is such a nice car standard, whack on a turbo and it's in a world of its own.
Failing that, stick a G60 in!!

I'm with JoJo though - I now like my creature comforts!!

IMHO your going backwards
