The platform that the cars are based around are the same, but other than that the cars are different. They have different engines. The Mk6 has an extra 10PS. The interiors are quite different. The Mk6 is a nicer place to sit and more up to date with more toys and modern white instrument lighting.

You need to go and make your own mind up about whether you think it's worth spending the extra money for the newer car. The Mk5 is an extremely good car, but the Mk6, being newer could be said to be a bit more desirable.

Like dubber said the best thing to do is to test drive both. I think that's the best way to decide which u prefer. I had a mk5 and now have a mk6 and overall it's better. The only thing I don't like is the electronic throttle. Slight lag in pick up, but u do get use to it.

i'd only look at an Edition 30 or Pirelli on the mk5

Yeah really ent sure, might go test an ed30 out, the mk6s are going for stupid money, 16k+ for a decent spec, so about 19k on finance, and iv heard about all the rattles as well, that puts me off,
Any one had an ed30 or Pirelli?

i dont know, if you look hard yo can get a MK6 cheap. Got mine 59 plate from JCT600 Peugeot for £13,950 six months ago. Leathers, parking sensors, RNS510, 18" Monzas, Lux pack, Winter Pack etc...

Worth every penny, some small rattles which the MK5 also has. All can be fixed or suppressed.

Yes, ED30 and Pirelli are great, but 3-5 from now they will be very old and outdated. All depends what you want most....Power, Luxury, all rounded etc...

MK6 is the all round best one, just under powered to the ED30, but get a stage 1 map and you will be happy

As others have said in the mk5 its a no brainer - edition 30 or Pirelli however Pirelli are rare and demand serious cash, E30 can be picked up cheap but high mileage and a low mileage will be around same price as Pirelli.

Performance wise my 6 felt just as nippy as my m8's e30 - his e30 has more tuning potential tho.

For me I prefer the 6 > better interior and prefer the front end, imo it looks more aggressive than the 5.

All depends on your budget........

we currently have a Pirelli and Edition 35 sat on the driveway, Pirelli feels more special but the Mk6 is the better car
