The Golf GTI MK3 8V
The one that pretty much everyone with an interest in cars told me was the worst possible version to buy on account of low power and it being a heavyweight.
I really like it.
Nice and torquey compared to the A4 and the suspension is in much much better condition. Theoretically the A4 has a better front end and certainly resists understeer much more, but the Golf had new springs and dampers within the last 12 months and feels a lot less discombobulated.
I also suspect that for me, Golf sized cars are the right balance between large enough to be comfy and small enough to play with in the bends.
So, I like it and will be keeping it. Not 100% convinced about the Deutsch stylee pressed steel effect plates or the Wolfsburg surrounds right enough, but it's a presentable looking thing. Pics to follow to ruin everyone's dinner ;-)
P.S. Audi A4 for sale... If you need a very presentable looking banger etc....
