Cheers. At 350 miles on the clock I thought it’d be worth a look.
I’ve previously owned a Mk7 pp so it’ll be interesting to see if I notice any real difference between the cars.
Having owned both myself I can vouch for there being some very noticeable differences.
The interior just feels different. It’s hard to quantify why as it’s basically the same but it does feel significantly different.
The exterior gets a lot of attention. I get a lot of questions and comments.
The springs are undeniably harsher.
The important bit is the drive though.
Put them side by side and I don’t reckon the 0-60 would be hugely different. Tenths of seconds at best.
The engine character and noise however are quite different.
The PP a low revving relaxed über competent all rounder.
The Ed40 feels much more “up and at ‘em” wanting to rev and rev.
Both mine had pedal boxes fitted, both felt a bit flat without one unless driving flat out.
The difference with one fitted being the PP feels smooth, torquey and fairly relaxed and the CS a bit like a terrier.
