Comment on Crap Cars I Like #2 – 1992 to 1998 Mk3 Golf GTi by EngageSportMode

I agree, the Mk3 is unfairly stigmatised by many, and the 16v is genuinely quick. It was never going to be a Mk2, in the same way anything Peugeot made after the 205 GTi would be as good.

Think this sums it up nicely: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=27736

I think everyone forgets about the 16v version this engine gets the GTI to high 7 to 8 seconds (plenty fast for a GTI and would beat a mk2). Also the myth mk3′s weigh much more than the mk2 is total crap. It weights 70-100kg more or less which is made up by the 16v which isn’t a heavy engine like the VR.

[...] EngageSportMode has a little bit of a love/hate relationship with BMW. Hate is, probably, too strong a word. Instead try an underlying suspicion that it is selling its values up the river slightly. For every car such as the 1M Coupe, M135i or Z4 comes something like the X6, 5-Series GT or 6-Series Gran Coupe. ESM is not a fan of any of the last three, as you may be able to tell from a rather subtle article last year. [...]

I was at Brands and was able to have a chat with Colin Turkington, he’s super focused and up for a fight, I reckon he’ll get stronger as the Ebay Motors WSR boys get their heads around the car.
