Please help decide! mrk 4 or 5?

[The Bishmeister]

Its soooo hard to decide!

I do like the audi's and must admit the skoda's are quite smart these days. But I want a VW purely because I can get cheap parts through the company I work for.

I prefer the looks and driving position of the Mrk4 but the newer Mr5 will have a better resale value when I eventually sell it!...But then again, I quite fancy keep the golf for a few years atleast so maybe that wont be a problem. Hmmmmmmm...... Really cant make my mind up. I have driven both a 130 Mrk4 and a mrk 5 140....keep thinking of the mrk 4 to be honest...but.....oh its so annoying!

Well, I reckon ive decided on the Mrk 4 150bhp.

Ive noticed some Mrk4 GT TDi's come with a spoiler and some dont?? Whats the deal with that....an optional extra?

HI
mk5 for me allday long mate.... looks better than mk4 and goes better!!! ive had mine for about 7mths now and no problems... only thing is a bit of wind noise from a prooly aligned door!!

apart from that im well happy with my mk5 and its 320nm of torque and 140 ps engine...

how does the torque compare to a 150 mk4?

thanks neil

I dont know about the torque figures for a standard mark 4... anyone know how it compares to the mrk 5?

I prefer the seating posisiton of the mk4 and the looks, I just think the mrk 5 handles better.

get a vrs,you no you wont to

I'd get the Mk 4, pd 130.

It can be mapped to about 180, and as those peeps on here with remapped 130 passats will tell you, they aint slow. Plus the golf should be lighter and therefore quicker.

why VRS?

and why the 130 as opposed to the 150?

[bora(ing) nick]

why VRS?

and why the 130 as opposed to the 150?

I'd say the 130 because they are more reliable than the 150. After a remap the bhp difference is minimal, maybe 10 BHP.

Nick

PS i think the VRS is a 130

[The Bishmeister]

Are they more reliable than the 150 then?
