| Hi If the MK2 is between the years 2003 to 2005 than, yes is a Mk2!! The car I thinking about will be a black, Tdi, 2005 with the 6 speed auto box! when all the miles I do, I feel a auto box would be better. |

| Welcome  Only advice really, is test drive 1, return the car and leave your signature behind on the piece of paper that says " i bought 1 "

| Welcome to Briskoda. Rumour has it that diesels are economical - but I will stick with my 1.8T for now.
