i got the MK3 cuz i feel it looks nicer than the MK2... plus, it comes with a turbo already... damn the weight. the 7M can handle the power, just add more boost to compensate for the weight. its not a civic or a corolla where every single HP counts and i have to start chuckin my creature comforts out the window to turn a 15 or 14 second pass. ive thought bout buying a civic or a neon or something for cheap and adding a turbo kit... but you really cant beat a factory turbocharged car for engineering and technology.
