Honestly, this is the best golf 3 review i've seen. TH-cam doesn't help much when you put it in the search bar. I wanted to know what year came out with the rounded bumper? Kinda like that better.
For your 1st car review, you executed this video and editing beautifully!! Excellent content! Perfect English grammar! Articulate word delivery. Keep delivering these reviews. You have what it takes.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That was my first ever car. I remember being 19 years old and driving it for the first time and remember being very unimpressed because it felt so slow and underwhelming. It wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either.
Considers that you are madly wrong and therefore sums it up myself like this: MK1 created the Gti class and it was then a fun and affordable car with injection. MK 2 slightly better and faster but by today's standards, these dinosaurs are not really much of a car..Simply overpriced. Even the MK3 is really expensive but so much more car due to its far higher comfort and equipment..A car that still delivers today. With the MK4 and the dull 1.8T engine, the Gti feeling disappeared and not even the VR6 could save the concept. It didn't go any better for later generations, because despite more power, today's Gti is a pale copy of the original. My summary is therefore that the MK3 is the right choice for those who also occasionally want to use their car..However, a nice 3 door 16v MK3 is not so easy to find and the prices have doubled in recent years..Expect them to come become much more expensive.
@@ralicahristova2244 I’m talking about the 2.0 8v MK3 GTI in general in this video, not specifically the 20th anniversary. The anniversary edition sells for around 6k here in Spain, normal 8v GTIs for anywhere around 1.5-3k. In any case, not worth very much.
In my country, it wasn't that hard to find well-functioning cars with 16v and VR6 engines for about 2-3k 6-7 years ago...Today a wreck costs at least twice as much and some nice examples at least 10 times as much..Low mileage special models can cost 50K.
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!
Hi! Well, first of all thank you for commenting. Fortunately, I don't think the future, in the short term, looks so dire. California and NY State have only talked about banning new combustion cars from 2035 onwards with no talk on when or if older cars will be banned. If I recall the EU has the same guidelines. I'm currently living in Spain and, at least here, classics are allowed into all low emission zones (which are only Euro 4), restrictions are not set to tighten at least until 2030, but it all seems to indicate that classics will be exempt as it is what's currently written into the law. I don't doubt that the Green Peoples Party would love to impose some strong restrictions (they always do), but so long as new petrol cars are still being sold I don't think they will be banned on the roads any time soon. Cheers and hope you have a good day!
@@abriatus Great reply! And quite accurate. Classics/vintage will be exempted from strict fuel bans,…at least for many many years. It’s not dire, as you say.
It’s funny how the difference in 0-100 between the mk2 and the mk3 is 0,2 seconds, and yet people say a mk2 is fast and the mk3 is so slow…

Thank you!!! Feel free to subscribe :)
The mk3 with the 12v 2.8 vr6 and the more rarer 2.9 vr6 are much more powerful and make a world of a difference
I'm glad that you have addressed this sir. Please compare it side by side to the MK4 and MK5
Hopefully soon!
That was my first ever car. I remember being 19 years old and driving it for the first time and remember being very unimpressed because it felt so slow and underwhelming. It wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either.
Best way to put it is, the 8v has low end tourqe and the 16v has top end power
I had a mk3 golf 16v gti and I think that engine is perfect for the car. They should of just released it with the 16v engine it come with 150bhp
I fully agree
Yes, 16v screamers are top mk3 cars! 13 years with my 16V 🔥🔥

How can you say that is what than 4 generation ? Drive 16v and then say somthing
Well, the whole video refers to the 8v and is very clear about it. The 16v is a completely different thing. Cheers!
i`ve had a 8v GTI and it handled amazing. Now i have a 16v so i have to see how that turns out.
But it does look pretty good for what type of condition it is
Hahaha 2000 units...where you get that number??? 😂😂😂
Madre mia los expertos de TH-cam 😂😂😂 las llantas son 16 por los frenos dice!! 😂😂😂 Los vr6 obdII llevan los mismos frenos 288 con llantas 15.....🤦
Not valuable at all. Meanwhile in the German car market the cheapest is 10k euro 😀😀😀😀
Nah, you can find them for 3k in pretty good shape in Autoscout right now. I’m sure you’ll find them cheaper if you search a bit more
@@abriatus I'm talking about anniversary model.

Drive a VR6 or at least a 16V
Definitely will do as soon as I can! But this video is about the 8v. Cheers!
Put a 20vt in and send it 😂
