depends on what you want really.
Its nice and refined a better build quality than a mk 1 and has loads of gadgets compared to the mk 1.
Ive had a mk1 GT and a mk2 hgt and prefered the GT all day long for a drivers car. The HGT was slow,thirsty and overhyped so to speak imo if you want a faster car within the same group id go for a good GT.
