Mk1/Mk2 are quite a bit different to the Mk3
Depends on what you want out of it
Mk1 and Mk2 are pretty basic, light and not much in the way of creature comforts, and are a really nice drive
Mk3, more comfortable, I’d hope a bit safer, and not as much of a drivers car
I’ve had a mk2 for about 2 years now. I like it, even though it hurts my back getting in and out of it 🙂
