Mk 1 'v' Mk2

What is the difference between the mk1 & mk2?

Is there any real difference? What would i gain from getting a Mk2 over a Mk1?

Ideas please?

The 1.8 has always been 113, either Mk1 or Mk2.

Different shape alloys, rear seats, front grille, markings under side repeaters, digital tip counter, plastic rocker cover, one touch windows maybe ?

owned both. mk2 has a nicer quality interior, the plastics all look much nicer and the colours are nicer than the grey on the mk1 hlx. alloys are different, comes with climate control so no sunroof. headlight washers are colour coded and so is all of the front bumper on the very last ones. rattles less. interior light comes on when you unlock it and when you turn the ignition off. different alloys and it felt as though it was geared differently mk2 felt quicker above say 50 mph but the mk1 felt quicker from standstill. reved a bit lower at motorway speeds (mk2) but seemed less economical. thats about all the differences that felt different. apparently they changed hundreds of things. i would try and get a mk2 personally
