The mk3 really isn't that much bigger after all, it just looks it in isolation. Good bit heavier though.
I've said this before and I'll say it again:Mk1 kerb weight: c. 1020kg (1.8i)
Mk3 kerb weight: c. 1095kg (2.0i Sport)
Mk1 dimensions: 3975mm (length) x 1675mm (width)
Mk3 dimensions: 3995mm (length) x 1720mm (width)
I think the heaviest Mk3 is 1120kg and that has a folding hard top. 65kg is just over 10 stone - so not really a good bit heavier - the weight of a passenger?

There really isn't much in it in 'real life'. Here's our MK3.5 alongside Batty's MK1
Funny you say that, I always thought the mk3 was huge compared to the mk1 until one came out on a run with us and I saw the pictures afterwards... The mk3 really isn't that much bigger after all, it just looks it in isolation. Good bit heavier though.rfn said:
