Opinions considering the styling/bodyshell, rust, handling or whole package etc?, i only ask because engines make hell of a difference..... i mean for example the mk3 GTI 8v is quite poo in comparison to the mk2 GTI 8v . Agree the mk4 is probably my least favourite, but that said i love the 4mo!, tricky question to be honest . Honestly when the MK3 came out, i didnt like it, didnt like the styling..... but it's becoming apparent at the moment, present day, it is starting to become a well loved classic shape, and looks great to me now! . Build quality was a good as ever, but the rust is a shock
