There is only one engine to consider, the 1.8T, dont go anywhere near the 2.0. There is also a diesel, but, well, its a diesel.

[R6dug]

Whats up with the 2.0?

[Defcon5]

It has about 112bhp.

[R6dug]

Thanks for that

What about mileage do they cope well?

Simon - you have email...

[Defcon5]

1.8T engine is very widely used across the whole VAG range, it has a few issues, (MAFs, coils mainly I think) but I think it can generally handle the mileage.

You may find you get more leon Cupra for your money though

If you get a Mk4 GTI and you are a keen driver, budget for decent suspension and arbs.

Leon Cupra R looks better and is a better drivers car out of the box.

[Defcon5]

Cupra R will be out of budget given the age of cars he is looking at I reckon

Taxi for me
