Buying a MK2 PT.1)

This may well be on here somewhere else, but I thought it was worth posting again anyway. On hols was looking through an old copy of Practical Classics, and this was in it:

Thanks for posting that....very interesting. In fact I've never driven a Mk2. I'd love to try one sometime as a comparison to my NA.

It's a comparison I'd like to make as well.... have driven a MK1 (obviously), and previously had a MK3 - but never been in a MK2 (and LOVE the shape of the MK4 - definitely wouldn't mind a spin in one of those too!!).

I've had three Mk1's...maybe I should have tried a Mk2 or 3 along the way ! Mk4 ? Yeah, i'd fancy one of those !

Had a mk2 for short while , definitely a car more suited to the longer journey, but I reverted to the mk 1... I feel more connected to the mk1

That's what I remember reading before - the Mk2 was more refined but the Mk1 felt more raw.
