The Gen1 MK2s perpetuated the "OMG snap 0versteer!!!1!1one!!on11Eeleventy!" myth about how the MK2 likes to whip itself around violently and slam into everything that could possibly kill you instantly.

The suspension was a little harder to control/predict on the Gen1, but not horrible by any means. Snap Oversteer is a myth perpetuated by bad drivers who don't know the limits of their car.

You really can't loose with either the Gen1 or Gen2 suspension. I love my Gen2 suspension, and it works great for autox. However, in Canada, you're probably going to be hard pressed to find a Gen2 sitting around, and might have to settle for the Gen1. Just know the cars limits and don't go past those on the street!
