        yea no I'm pretty sure that would explain it.

        mk 1 FTW (as they say)

        I prefer them cause of the styling, and regardless they still handle pretty well, for a 30 year old car.

        sure a mk 2 may have a better subframe and chassis. I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm planning on building a race car.

          When you compare the mk1 to the mk2, you really have to have owned both to be able to even make a comment. And when i say a mk1 i dont mean a cabriolet, an LS GLS or whatever, we are talking like for like comparison...the mk1 gti is an awesome car which was over engineered for its time and still p1sses over alot of cars made after it...

          However, having said all that, the mk2 is a superior beast. And when i say mk2, i am talking about the GTI and not the aussie delivered 5 door downtuned ones either. Without a shadow of a doubt best chassis of them all.

              I have owned 1,(1600 + 1800) 2 (8V) and 3 in GTI format, and yes the MK2 may be better in some areas, it should be it is newer. Having said that the MK1 looks way better than the MK2.. Saying that the MK3 i owned was horrid to drive in comparision to the older models.

                      Mk2 the best Golf yet.

                      Glad that I could have started some spirited debate... I can't argue with the Mk1 guy about race track stuff as the MK 2 is no doubt a little heavier. For my thinking though, the MK 2 was the ultimate evolution of the MK1 design, incorporating the best of both worlds, before VW really started piling on the weight with the MK3. I wasn't putting the Mk1 down in any way, as I love them too, it's just a personal thing that's all. Plus they are a bit more unique here in Aus so that gets and extra tick from me also. And yes I still have my MK2 resto for sale. I've just dropped the price too. I think there was even a whiner about price in that last lot of feedback.. There's always one in every crowd. Don't worry about him guys. He's obviously clueless about much. Poor little chappy. Anyway so there it is, The MK2 vs MK1 debate. Mind you I think the 2L twin cam would have been quicker.... Naaaa just teasing!!

                        Spyda has a point, you cannot say its the best mk2 in AUS because its not. However it is another mk2 that could be restored. Not for that price though! i would want all the trim, all the panels to be sweet for that price, its my two cents.
