I have to side with the mk1 as well. It gives you plenty of smiles per miles, is much cheaper to insure (group 12), is cheaper to run and fix. Only downside is the bodywork but there are plenty of good examples left out there. It also looks better IMO. Power wise up to 60-80 mph its not that far off a mk2 and its easier to handle round the corners. The engine is also feels revier with a larger power band than the mk2.

Talking about perfomance you have to remember the mk2 is a 2.0ltr enegine so you should really compare it with other larger engine cars where as the mk1 is only a 1.6. Back in the 80's the 4age engine was (and still is) one of the most powerful N/A engines available. It was only the likes of Honda who were producing equally good engines (possibly better when they started using Vtec).

Best otion is to get a drive in both, even as a passenger and see what you prefer.
