I went from a Jetta GTX (GLI) from a MK4 Golf GTI and I miss many aspects of the MK2. I love the fact that they have refined many items interior and exterior wise. The MK3 are just fugly in my opinion (I agree 100%)
But as far as reliability... Newer is at many times better. Again, my opinion based on the list of many problems I had with my Jetta 16v.

I agree. I don't like MK3s mostly because they were the cause of the demise of our precious MK2s. I find myself only slightly liking MK4s mostly because they are VWs and are not as ugly as MK3s.

I lost my interest in later GTis and Golfs somewhere around 1992. I've remained faithful to my A2 Golf 16V, Corrado G60, and 81 VW Truck. Its amusing to drive to work with the oldest car in the lot. However, I did buy my wife a Jetta MKIII a couple years back. The newer cars lost an intangible and undescribable character that I thought was present in the older cars. Even though they are crude by today's standards, the older generation cars are just plain fun to drive. With the median average new car price hovering around $35k, I've decided to keep my existing cars and place all of my "new car" funds into my retirement account. ;) _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
