Back to VAG. GTI Clubsport Edition 40!
« on: 03 February 2025, 09:27 »
Hello all!

Been browsing the forums for a few weeks now as I have recently just purchased this GTI CS!


And yes, they have the bucket seats. :nerd:

A few years ago I had the Cupra 300, then sold it for a BMW 118d as I was doing a lot of motorway journeys.
Now working fully remote so decided to treat myself.

Any recommendations/mods going forward?

Hi Kaz, looks great :smiley: Manual or DSG? Looks pretty much perfect as is, I'd just drive and enjoy.

Stuck with the DSG - I primarily live in London so get stuck in traffic a lot. Thanks and definitely have been! Need to get over the mental barrier of averaging 56mpg with the diesel vs 26  :sick:

If you're going to be stuck in traffic, may as well do it in buckets!

I'm surprised to find that the buckets are super comfortable, especially compared with my 1 series BMW. Heated seats are superb.

Welcome kaz :smiley: and as a former 5 door white Ed40 owner all I can say is “good choice!”
Mine didn’t have the buckets though so not as cool as yours!
