chris22manc 0 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 I currently own a modded mk3 1.4(still trying to get pics) but want to sell it because i want more power.i cant decide between a vr or a gti.i have been told vr's are a bit sluggish,heavy,expensive to tune and use up alot of fuel.gti can be tuned a lot easier and cheaper.plz dont take any offence of this thread vr's are a great carregardsChris Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Ive had a mk3 gti and a VR6 and if you want more power in a mk3 get a VR6.The VR is expensive to tune but with 60bhp more as standard than a gti even if you spent £2k or so tuning the gti you wouldnt get the same power! A 16v gti is better but its hard to find a good one and it hasnt got that roar!... drive a few gtis and VRs it'll make the decision for you Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 VR6 all the way mate Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 well...ta vr is gonna be ahell of a lot less sluggish than a gti (and your 1.4!) as its the same shell, and the vr has a fair bit more power. more power = less sluggish!if you can afford a vr, and the insurance, get one. it's a much more complete car than the gti. the engine is sooo much smoother andmore refined. the only prob the vr has (and gti's have the same) is the suspension...way to spongy. allow about £400 in your budget if you can and get a set of eibach springs and koni adjustable dampers straight away to make the car perfect.

VR6Andy 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Can say that you would be disapointed with a GTI 16V, if you then drove a VR.I bought a '96 GTI 16V when in a rush for a car in 2001. I did'nt think much to it and when I had the chance to drive a VR I sold the GTI straight away. I've owned my VR 18 months and many happy miles later I still smile behind the wheel. Happy shopping. See ya. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 and a 16v is way better than an 8v! Link to post Share on other sites
