VW will be built better, and the engine will run forever.
My mate has a mk2 gti 8v and it has around 180k on it, and it still runs really well.

They are quite solid. A lot came without PAS and are pretty misserable to drive at anything below 20 mph. Heavy cars, I'd not call them that quick, but they are no slouch. GTE 16v is a better car, although let down by build quality and rust.
