what the mk3's? its all relative, they are faster than a 1 litre micra, but slower than a lambourgini murchielago!! Their engines are so much better in mk1's and mk2's ( well the bottom ends!) Edited by: CabrioRags
After 8 months driving one doesn't seem fast, don't cane me but before the golf i had a mk3 xr3i cab and when that was running sweet i would honestly say there wasn't too much difference But it was only running sweet for all of an hour after i had a new engine put in it then gearbox blew up typrical ford As for me golf i'm ready for the other 8v's or 2 cylinders now
the mk4 2litre GTI in inverted commas is a poor excuase for a GTI. The 1.6 mk4 is only o.2 seconds slower 0-60! is that the performance of a GTI? I don't think so! Hence why the 1.8T, V% and V6 motion were brought in. Oh and the R32!
The 2.0 Mk4 GTI is a good fleet car, and company car drivers like the GTI badge, hence why it exists. It's a nice drive, but not particularly quick!
my friends got a w reg one feels more refined and smoother than mine, obviously being newer helps but mine is supposed to be "slow" but his one feels even more lethargic for some reason evn though i gave it the same stick as i do with mine
V5 is probably the better one to buy quicker than the V6 4 motion plus its still got that wicked engine note. Edited by: Dubplate
115bhp in an even heavier car like the mk4 is bound to feel slower! the GTi badge means nothing these days.
ok mr locks was stating the obvious i know, but just speaking from experience that's all didn't know there the 'same" engine
yes, I think the MK4 use the AGG engine, which is what the later mk3's use (like mine). Err, think you should get your facts straight before saying that mate. You are wrong, the V6 4M is faster than any variant of standard V5. 0-30 x 0-60 x 0- 100 x 1/4 mile V5 1503.0 x 8.5 x 24.3x 16.6 V5 1702.6 x 7.4 x 20.2x 16.1 V6 4M2.3& nbsp;x 7.2 x 18.2x 15.2
????????????????? Figures suggest otherwise mate, and having driven the 150BHP I thought it was pants ( 170 meant to be much better though). Really lousy pick up, very different to mine V5 170 139MPH - 224km/h 0-62mph 8.2secs Max Output 170 at RPM 6200 Maximum torque 162 lbs.ft / 220 Nm at RPM 3200 V6 201 146MPH - 235km/h 0-62mph 7.1secs Maximum Output PS 204 at RPM 6200 Maximum torque 199 lbs.ft / 270 Nm at RPM 3200 and they both feel fatser than that anyway.
simma how can i tell if mine is an AGG mine's a 97 p also is that the best one of the 3 that are in MK3's
????????????????? Figures suggest otherwise mate, and having driven the 150BHP I thought it was pants ( 170 meant to be much better though). Really lousy pick up, very different to mine I stand corrected then i was under the impression the V5 was a better and more balanced engine....... Edited by: Dubplate
I think yours is an AGG then, you can find out by checking under the bonnet, I forget where it's written, but it will be on a sticker/plate somewhere in the engine bay. As far as it being the best, I dont know. What I do know is that most of the AGG engines suffer a flatspot, when changing at around 6k in first into second is has a flatspot, cured by an ECU remap.
