Was after a GTi for the missus but a silver Golf Mk3 2.0 Avantgarde convertible has come up. They worth a butchers?

 

Why not? there good cars golfs.

Just check the gearbox is ok, especially 1st 2nd and reverse as my old 16v golf was a nightmare sometimes to get into those gears, sometimes id be sat there for 2-3mins trying to select it expensive repair aswell ŁŁŁ's, thats the main reason i got rid of mine really.

 

Wasn't sure about the cabby having any specific issues.

 

oh right, not too sure but its a VW and there not THAT old so shouldnt be any problems with it.

Im sure someone with more knowledge will be along

 

leaky leaky, this country personaly i would steer clear, bad on fuel as well..... imo..

 

Slow - crap on fuel - image problem LOL

If anyone is after a golf its obvious there not after a fast car isnt it? and my modded 16v golf wasnt bad on fuel, no worse than my 1.8 escort gti for example.

Image? i agree there not the best looking cars especially the drop top mk3

 

My missus has the same car.

Seems pretty solid, although the engine management light has just come on!

 

No.

Drive shit. All leak like a sieve eventually. At some stage the roof will pack up. As will the central locking. Only Convertble VW worth owning is the Eos. But maybe thats a bit steep at the moment.

Avoid. HTH
