Pic of my old MKI VRS & my new MKII VRS.

How do they compare?

Completely different TBH bud. The MKI was so heavily modified that is was a bit of a handful and an animal to dive. Due to the coilovers etc it was really planted and the Stage 3 made it a very quick car that returned 50mpg. The MKII is a fun car to drive albeit different due to the auto box. I've not really pushed it yet as it only has 800 miles on the clock but time will tell in a few months. I am getting a set of 40mm H&R springs, H&R RARB & Miltek catback system fitted in the next few weeks so hopefully that will add to the fun.

Great picture and contrast in the two cars.... but the mods sound nice!!!

Still a quick little motor but yeah it is a little slow compared to the MKI.
