Default Pros / cons mkv gti ??

hey guys, im really having a split decision between the MKIV 1.8T and the MKV 2.0T... i really like the MKIV styling and fact that the 1.8T can be cheaply modded with decent gains from bolt ons alone. I also like the MKV because from the factory it has crank rated 20 more HP and 30 mor FPTQ, and i like the fact it comes with a 6 speed transmission.

please list your personal thoughts on whats better or worse for the MKV...

thanks so much fellas !

Danny

get teh MKV, it is obviously newer, better basline Hp numbers, and 6 speed...unless you absolutly hate the KMV bodylines you can "style" it however you want later.

Good luck!

MKV....love the 4, but if given the choice then you will be happier with an MKV in the long run.
