How useful.

ED 30.

I could of bought an ed 30 but decided to go for the standard gti and used the money i saved on the 30 to modify the GTI, in heinsight i think the ED30 would of been the best option but hey ho, im still :grin:

YES NICK !

If you have the money, get the ED30 ;)

Hopefully, unlike Alan, you'll never darken the MK4 section again  :tongue: :kiss: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Its been nearly 2 years now and every night I can hear the MK4 section crying itself to sleep without me :D

As topher says, we each want different things from our cars.

I think I'd go for the GTI. I know the Ed30 has much greater tuning potential but driving a 260 bhp well handling GTI (KW-V3, Quaife, etc etc), I don't really want more power and I just don't like the fancy red stitching.

The appeal of the R32 is the V6 sound but she doesn't feel as nimble to drive.

I'm very happy with what I've got and I'd also be happy with any of the others.

Ed30 power from an R32 engine. Wish they gave it 300bhp from the factory! ED30 is probably the best choice but each to their own mate, im sure you will love what ever you get as its a MK5 golf!

Choose which you like the most, one thing i always think is you can make the R32 as quick as a mapped ed30 but you can never mod the ed30 to sound like the R32 (unless you swap in a V6 lol)  :wink:
