Which Sharan and why?

[The Monk 50]

So guys and girls.

I have permission from SWMBO to get a Sharan. Not a golf or a Corrado, but it will suffice.

I'm looking at sub 90k Sharans with either the genuine VR6 174bhp and that noise or the more subtle but powerful 204bhp engine, in the mk2s.

This car will get modded now we are settled and comfortable financially.

Considerations are;

F/I... Unsure if s/c or turbo. One of the last mods to hit the car.

Bigger wheels

Lowered sensibly, not slammed.

??LSD.

Exhaust and BMC.... Noise more than anything.

The OBD 2 mk1 is a platform and engine bay that I know inside out, so familiarity is good. The engine is the same, guessing the gearbox will be too. I know of previous mods on here that can be done.

The newer 204bhp is unknown to me. It's the same that VW squeezed into their V6 4mo MK4 golf. So consideration for a lower F/I tolerance may be needed ect.

I'm going off their abilities for modding rather than age.

Which would you choose?.

My boss had a mk2 Alhambra v6 sport,really nice car,seats looked like half leather/suede recaros,had all the toys and 6 speed box if I remember correctly,so much car for so little money! Rare as rocking horse shit it seems though! He sold it to his mate who lpg'd it and apparently it runs really well on it, driving all around Europe!
