mk4 GTI 1.8 turbo vs Bora V6 4mo which is better and why

Thanks for that Timmy and everybody else who has given some info as any information is good information
It is certainly a hard choice as both seem like exceptional cars, especially for the money, It seems to come down to boot vs no boot and 4cyl vs 6cyl rego and AWD.

Are the AWD gearboxes strong in the Boras? as it is often the weak link in most AWD vehicles ?

The boxes are tough in both 2 and 4WD definitely change the oil for synthetic, Redline is really good but there's others that are compatible.

Synthetic oil can really improve the changes of an average box. It'll even go some way to fixing crunchy syncros if you are lucky. My Polo was pretty rough when I got it and I thought I'd be up for a rebuild. I filled it with synthetic oil and until just now I had completely forgotten it was ever bad.
