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

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.
