    From a GL owner's perspective, they're not too bad! Engines are known to last a good deal, but like most people have said, things to look out for are the electricals. One of my sensors were playing up which caused a good deal of fuss, but other than that, I haven't had any trouble (until I started modding and changing parts around, but that's another story). Earlier models (1994, that had the 2E engine with a longer inlet manifold) didn't have this sensor so they would pretty much be quite trouble-free. If you're looking for a runabout, the GL or CL would be the better choice. If you're in the mindset that you want to chase power and willing to fork out the money for that, VR6 might be the better base. My $0.02!
    Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.

    Yeah, if my mum gets a Golf then that'll mean all three of our cars are VW, lol. We are a VW family my dad has a Passat.

    And don't worry, in a few years I'll be able to get my beloved Golf

    Oh I don't think it's a 1.6...I actually think it's a 1.4 but I'll check that out, if it isn't then it's a 1.6

    Or did you mean the Golf? because that's the Polo I was just talking about
