Well....yes, performance is pretty much the same on all of them, BUT if I had the money (lol, which I don't, MK3 for me), I'd get a 6 speed targa top TT, and after....trying to remember the year, but once they went over to OBD2 computer system (EXTREMELY easy to pick up scanners for and see everything in real time on a computer). Cosmetics....well, a lot of people like the '98 tail lights better, but they're an easy swap.

Remember though that MK4 prices are high becuase everyone wants a car from a certain major movie...

the 1996 mkiv's were the first year of the odb II..although "that" movie certainly shed alot of light on the mkiv , i dare say that most of those who became consumed with the thought of owning one probably didn't have the 25 to 35K needed to make that dream come true

I actually believe that 93 is listed as the quickest year for the mkiv don't know why, but it is.

that's interesting...where might i find that listed?

Yeah, the whole problem with most of the testing is the driver and environment usually aren't the exact same as they where when they tested the year before or next, but looking at number they all fall within being way too fun to drive...
