one has a carb and one has fuel injection!
Bit more subtle than that, the 93 Clip I'm looking at is injected. :?

Ah! Now we're getting to it.vw_golf_nutter said
ok if you can call that fuel injection it is a single point injection unit. gti's have multipoint injection and are MUCH better! lol

Looking at period magazine articles the GTI had alloys, MFA and an extra 22bhp but cost another ?2,500 8O 8O which was about a quarter as much again 8O 8O 8O
In gear acceleration was quoted as being very similar.
All things being equal yes I'd have a GTI rather than a carb but I'd rather have a clean rust free carb Clipper than a 15 owner shed with a GTI badge.
The very last Cabrios had a variation of the MK2s Digipants fuel injection system with a catalyst (I think)

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

It looks pretty tidy and has been there for a month or so, so you could get a deal? :dontknow:

mustve just missed that, my '92 clipper had the overcomplicated and troublesome pierburg carb.
i would recommend a GTI rivage/Sportline pay as much as you can, you'l just be hankering after one all the time if you dont

OOH! Bit harsh, but I see where you're coming from.
So is the handling of the Gti cab significantly better than that of the 93 Clipper?
I'm returning to the fold after a 15 yr absence, I ran a bog standard Mk1 1600 Gti (LTX 51X) for many years and it was the most fun car I've ever owned, from turning the key the first time to when I had to sell (due difficulty with child seats) it was a riot! I've now got room in the garage for a toy for me, is the Cabby going to dissappoint me??

It shouldn't dissapoint you really, it depends on what you want out of your toy. Cabby's are good cruisers, sunny day, top down etc. Not always sunny tho, If you get one make sure the hood is watertight or budget for a new one. Personally I would always go for an injected engine rather than a carb, nothing wrong with them, just preference. In all honesty unless your going to run on the track and redline everywhere, there aint alot in it. You can always bring the cars upto gti spec if you're not satified.
Go and view one, take it for a test drive and see how you like them, there are good buying guides on the homepage for checks etc.
