Duración: 01m 00s
In August of 1991, VW unveiled the third generation of its venerable C-segment model. The Golf Mk3 had more rounded bodywork and despite retaining the Mk2's wheelbase, it grew slightly in size, passing the 4.0 m mark (4,074 mm). The GTI's engine capacity also grew to 2.0 liters. The 8-valve version was poorly received due to its underwhelming output of just 113HP (115PS), though the 148HP (150PS) 16v version that followed and the 2.8- and 2.9-liter narrow-angle VR6 variants addressed this issue.VW made sure that the Mk3 had its fair share of novelties such as side airbags, direct injection diesel engines, standard ABS and an estate (Variant) version. It also spawned a new Cabriolet, which remarkably, soldiered on until 2002, when it was replaced by the soft-top version of the New Beetle.
