    All Mk1/2/3 are unsafe car base on crash test result. Go for Mk4 if your budget can be stretched a bit, they are getting cheaper and cheaper now.

    I still love my Mk1

    I just traded my Mk4!
    Daughter said I should have kept it for her but I really needed the $10k to pay off the finance!
    Maybe in a year or two it will be an option. Got to remember she has to be able to afford to run it ...

    Hey jettapilot, just bare in mind that some insurance companies won't insure drivers under 25 with convertables
    Im 21 insured with aami for $550 fire and theft, in the UK it would cost atleast $6000...geez i love this country sometimes

    Just shop around before you buy...

    Rego, fuel and service is reasonable being a 1.8L i think it does about 400ks to the tank although never taken it to empty before usually fill up around the 200 mark at about half tank or less!

    I dunno about that Eric, I have had some really smashed up ones through my hands and the cars stand up really well, even the early ones.

    Certainly Mk3s are pretty safe.
