vtr - vts ||| mk1 - mk2

[nicole_]

always wondered but what do each of these mean and what makes them different to the other.
dont jump on me lol,
im 17,
a girl,
and none of my guy mates are into cars :(

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

mk1 VTR=90bhp
mk2 VTR=98bhp
VTS=120bhp

the mark 1 and mark 2 are just different editions of the model i.e. mark 2 golf,mark 3 golf etc.

The differences are mainly the looks, the mk2 is more rounded at the front unlike the mk1 which has more square like headlights.

With the vtr, the mk1 has around 8bhp less than the mk2.

Hope that helps :y:

You'd want a VTR. Insurance on a VTS is a lot more.

VTR- 1.6 8v, 90-98bhp, ins group 7

VTS- 1.6 16v, 120bhp, ins group 14.

MK basically is short for 'mark'.

When a manufacturer makes a newer car with a same name but different design usually its a new mark.

[Bickerton]

Rectangle headlights = mark I
Bubbly rounded lights = MK II

[Add91289]

MK2 vtr is cheaper to tax and more economical on fule

mk2= later round front

Agreed, lmao, but I’m also 17 and therefore stand more of a chance definitely will get some. (... probably :D).

[Stissy]

i pay 80 something, and my friend pays 100 and something

EDIT: Mines a 52plate. hers is a W reg

[Paul]

[VTRelite]

mk2s look gash is the main difference

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

No way

mk1s look like a box, there too square looking imo

[J69]

Thought there was a difference

[liam-o]

mk1 VTR=90bhp
mk2 VTR=98bhp
VTS=120bhp


not 100% correct, the earlier mk2 VTRs are still 90bhp

mk2s look gash is the main difference

it think that must be a typo, the mk2's look far far better that the mk1 boxes :homme:

[saxokid100]

Luv mk2 saxo"s....................

[JamesR]

Luv mk2 saxo"s....................

I do like some features of MK1s, but on the whole the MK2 gets the win :P

[ashie695]

mk2 ftw! to bad i've got a mk1 :n:

[nicole_]

[Easty]

MK2 VTR can do 60 in second IIRC ?

not somthing you really want to be doing to often lol

[liam-o]

im still not convinced

a west coast is a mk1

heres how it goes

mark 1 is the earlier model, sqaure headlights, boxy, look mean on the track!

-the westcoast is a mk1, they also did flat arches and the VT's

mark 2 is later, more round, generally looks sexier

-the furio is the mk2 equivalent of the west coast

not somthing you really want to be doing to often lol

nope definitely not good, but hes right, they can do 60 in second, but im pretty sure the 1.1s can as well, probably worse

[dan-vts1]

mk1 all the way i love old square cars. hate new round space age cars.
