Hi.

Can anyone tell me if the Mk 2 is a future classic worth buying, investing in long term. Does it look like it will be a future classic? There are not plentiful but prices are low at the moment, and not too many for sale either

I don’t think so tbh.

The mk1 has a better chance, as the original of the species, but even then I reckon only the WRC version will be really valued- only 100 of them, and check the register.. a lot are now bean tins.. Have to remember what these cars are to most people who know about them - VW’s reheated leftovers from old Golf GTI’s.

I’m not slagging them off, I think they are great and just wish I could find a few in my budget to justify the change, but… they are most likely never going to get much traction (lol ) as a classic outside a very select few.

JPS

There are not Mk2 many for sale but yet they are not selling either. Mk1 is like hens teeth.

I suppose it will depend on how long you manage to keep it in good condition. Eventually it will hopefully be a classic plus even if it never becomes a classic its a fast fun car so worth having anyway.

Very true 👍

Friend is on his second one. First was diesel which was pretty good but then he got the 2.0 tsi petrol tuned to 270bhp. Had a shot a while baack and its very fast in fact too fast for me as I am used to 1.6tdi but seriously fun car to drive. Holds road like glue and really shifts when you floor it.
