What year of manufacture are you on about??

Presumably your are talking about Golf 3

It's because you are checking CL models

All GT and almost all GL comes with factory fitted AC

Can you please shed some light on MKIII'S automatic transmission reliability? Thanks

I was married to Golf 3 GT(1996) manual for 6 years, replaced clutch and disc twice (only in manual) used it with AC all through before i sold it.
A friend of mine still has it (Automatic transmission) never experienced transmission issue with both, aside the normal extra driving stress with manual.

I went for MKIII manual because i wanted something cheap, economy in fuel, standard and to be in charge of my cruise.

Considering the cost of a tokunbo MKIII i advise you use the same amount and go for a registered Toyota Corolla.

In all I THINK for MKIII, manual transmission is more reliable.

Maintenance is supposed to be cheaper with mk3 compared with corolla

Sure, yes.

But do proper transmission checking before buying a used MKIII auto, i don't know much about the auto because i used manual.

Toyota although more expensive, it offers a more lasting spare parts.

seedsower:


Yes.

Y do you say so?

At the end of 12 months/1 year the cost of maintaining both cars will amount to same.

An MKIII takes you to an auto-mechanic more frequently compare to an equivalent low end Toyota car i must maintain.
