MDIFYTD is right. The K03 Sport or Hybrid came with the 2001+ with 180hp I believe. Yet EVERYONE failed to notice that you said mid to late 90's and the 1.8T engine was not out in the 90's. If you want to get a MK3 Volkswagen Jetta or GTI, I'd most certainly go with the VR6. Your only other choice would be the 2.0 8v.
