Default thinking about buying a Golf......

Right now i have a 1993 90s, the 4th give of auto isn't working, and in general i'm not really satisfied with the cost of repairs. I've been thinking about buying a 95+ Volkswagen Golf, and i was just wondering if they're easyer to work on then my 90, and if they're cheaper to maintain.

Thanks guys!

Default much easier, much cheaper

I would recommend a VR6 though so you don't spend time and money trying to get something out of the 2.0l.

But then with the VR6 comes a more difficult setup to work on and more expensive. Stick with
5 speeds!!!

Default The VR6 with a neuspeed intake is one of the sweetest sounds ever.

You can put a supercharger on there and get around 260whp, w/ all other necesities.

The 2.0 can be made very quick as well with a turbo.
