There are surprising similarities. The front suspension for instance is basically a 16v strut, even attaches the same way, two big bolts on the bottom, strut bearing with three bolts up top.
Rear suspension is torsion bar, like a beetle. Lots of similarities on the interior, although they were very progressive. For instance, my 1988 has both driver and passenger side airbags. Much to my distress in fact, as now I have to disable them to carry my little daughter with me in the car... There's nothing out there that'll give you the same bang for the buck performance tho. I easily keep up with new sports cars that cost $50k+... -josh --- Les Noriel <[email protected]> wrote: > Porsche 944 Turbo and VW 16Vs together in the same > conversation. > > That last happened in the October 2003 Issue of > European Car.
