What exactly are you comparing? You're comparing VW Golf III and a VW Golf 1,6. There's no basis for comparison, as III refers to the platform (third generation VW Golf) while VW Golf 1,6 simply refers to the engine size. 1,6 is available in VW Golf I-VI. We've discussed the VW Golf in great detail (in the other thread you opened).

As for fuel consumption, I can't see what you're comparing. Does the VW Golf III have an engine? And the VW Golf 1,6 - what generation is it?

I'm well aware there's a Volkswagen Golf VI - I attended the launch back in 2007, before it hit the streets in 2008.

The OP was referring to engine size, not the platform. It's obvious, because it makes no sense to compare running costs differences between the VW Golf III that was launched late 1991, to the VW Golf VI That was launched almost 17 years later. It's like comparing a 1983 Honda Accord's running costs with one that was launched in 2002. There's no basis for comparison.

We all make mistakes, and learn from them. We won't learn anything if we defend errors. VW Golf 1,6 is very different from VW Golf VI.

@ Pace$etter: There are more than enough threads on the VW Golf III, I would suggest you do a search, and read. And one more thiong - there's no such thing as a "new" Volkswagen Golf III. How can it be new, when the last ones rolled off the production line in 1998 (or 1999 for the estate)? You're looking at a car that's at least 15-years-old.

I didn't concentrate on the thread title until after I had made my post, I'm sorry. The OP should have bEen clearer about what he wanted.

is it golf 3, golf 4, golf 5 or golf 6. 1,6 is just the size of the engine not a model . The higher the model spec, the more expensive the parts especially 5 & 6, fuel economy is generally fair especially on a 1,6 litre engine so u shouldn't have problems just take care of the car very well especially servicing aspects and know the kind of "mechanic" you allow near the car
