why would you pick 140 over 180 unless it was because you simply couldn't afford it

The 180 is a lot better equipped than the 140. So 180 is a clear winner. Unless you wanted to do a lot of engine work then I'd recommend the 140

Well that's a stupid question if there ever was one...
I would go for the 40 bhp less model loosing out on the suspension revisions and a few less luxuries... because it's got more tuning potential to get it up to 180 stock figures ^^.

Ye the 180 does 140 mph and the 140 does 130 mph so for 10 mph diff it not that much it was only a poll anyway

Assuming all 138's make their stock figures
20 bhp is still 20 bhp haha

Definitely recommend the 180 over the 140, i've just upgraded from the 140 to the 180 and it is far superior than the 140 and I seriously don't regret buying the 180

Good God, I hope you're not comparing cars based on their top speed?

I've only got a 138. I must be a peasant. The 180 wasn't out when I got mine.
This was more true when the cars were newer but if you planned serious modification work then it didnt make sense to pay a premium for a newer 180 when all the changes that made the 180 different to the 138 would be put in the bin.

If I had to choose between those 2 it would be the later 138 GTI with standard ESP.
