the handbrake's in the proper place in a 3rd... so room for your knee with it on!


don't need to bugga about with the back window to open the tailgate

dash not from a 1980s van

proper steering rack

easier to change disks!!

no need to dismantle the ENTIRE dash for stereo

You forgot to mention the pansy plastic trims.

i still haven't found them!... where you looking?

Unless I keep seeing weird examples, everything below crotch height
on the outside of the vehicle.

[da SLUG man]

mines only got arch extensions (like the 2nd gen)
and the bottom section of the front bumper is a flexible plastic.

no bullbar thing or rear spoiler.


the bumpers are steel (and heavy!!)... there's getting less car below crotch height on mine though!

[da SLUG man]

oh!... and the botom door mouldings!... they're plastic!... um... yeah!!


i'm gonna take them off!!

The truth is that the 3rd gen has a 4x4 system that is light years in advance of the 2nd gen. As the reason for owning one of these vehicles has supposed to be for its 4x4 abillity then we must draw the conclusion that the 3 is a better vehicle than the 2.

The plactic trim actually looks rather nice and won't rot like the bumpers on the 2.

Oh we have started now.......

i worry about how much mud is holding water behind the trims though!

Ever get that feeling that you have just opened a humongous door?

[POPEYE]

Dont disagree, 3rd gen engineering in a 2nd gen body would be the ideal,
Although i wont be the one doing it.

And then that feeling that you've just stepped through that humongous
door?

Also if you get the 3rd gen with tdi it goes like s&!t off a shovel!
