Default Know anything about mkIII's ?

I was wondering for one if they have enough space in them, im 6'3, 280 so im a big guy, would it be extremly cramped in there or would it be like a civic or somethin. Also what are some common problems, I think its the 7m engine is prone to get a Blown Head gasket. and How quick are the non-turbo, auto ones? If any of ya know of a good mk3 website too that'd help

yeah, i have a mkiii n/a auto....its kinda small but i think u just might be able to squeeze in. my friend is 6'6" and he fits in it with the seat all the way back. i'd suggest u try and find one to sit in first before buying it. and yes the head gasket is a b*tch...i only have 40k miles on mine and i've blown it twice already. that could be because i drive it hard but u would probably have to replace it if it hasn't been already.

I guess if I think about I have heard mk3 refered to as a supra as well....but I most commonly have heard it refered to as a jetta.
