x 2, the US market didn't get the ED30 so doubt they will get the 35 :smiley:
-
Looks like mine with rubbish wheels and a couple of stickers! :evil:
-
"non-genuine"
I'd consider an ED35 if they make one :wink:
-
What power will the ed35 have then if they make it or will they not bother due to the R.
-
Well if they continue the stipid theme they started with the Edition30 the edition35 if thats what they call it would be 235PS
-

Oh no it wouldn't :tongue:
The MKVI has 210ps and so the ED35 would have to have 245ps :wink:
All my body parts are crossed that they will do something like the ED30 and give it a bigger turbo or (in my wildest dream!) the 2.5 litre 5 pot. :drool:

I hear you, but the MK5 had the R32 and they made the ED30.....

I'd be very surprised if they ever make a gti that wasn't a front wheel drive 4 pot :rolleyes:
Nice to dream though :wink:

Valid point but that was a V6, whilst the new R is a 4 pot I believe so will be interesting to see if they do.

Okay, bit of an update here.
I've been poking my head under VW's skirt and found out a few juicy details.....
MKVI GTI engine with a larger turbo. I don't know which turbo, but my suspicions would lay squarely at a revised K04.
This would mean that you'd be able to get 380bhp and low 12 second 1/4 miles out of it at stage 2+ :cool:
I've also been told to hang on for a few weeks as there will be an announcement about the ED35 pretty soon :drool:

Just looked on one of the German sites and the Edition 35 is set to be announced in the 2nd quarter of this year :laugh:

Perfect timing. VW have practised the rhythm method as recommended for Catolics by their German Pope. :cool:

Be interesting to see what they do with the new Anny version engine and power wise. :cool:
I just hope they don't upset the low rev power delivery of the standard mk6 GTI.

I'd read that it looks mostly like the Worthersee edition model from last years show.........
Which I don't like.
Not sure if I will get one now or wait another year for a mk7 GTi, as it will be out so soon now.
Dave
-
by time the Mk7 GTi is out, it will be priced off the road to run....

The MKVII GTI would follow around 10/12months after the launch of the MKVII. This is generally what has happened with the MKIV onwards. :smiley:

More info on the MKVII.......
BERLIN (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) will begin selling the seventh generation of its flagship VW Golf hatchback at the "end of 2012 or early 2013.," a spokesman for the company said on Saturday.
The spokesman was responding to a report in industry publication Automobilwoche, citing a person close to VW's chief executive, that the new model would arrive in showrooms in November 2012 . However, the VW spokesman said no specific month had yet been targeted for the launch.
The Golf Mk VII will be the first Volkswagen brand model to be based on the cost-saving modular transverse architecture, known by its German abbreviation "MQB," that will eventually be used to build some 3 million vehicles group-wide every year.
The company has said they expect savings in the double-digit percentage range thanks to a production process that differs from the previous vehicle platforms, which only offer synergies across brands using the same underpinnings rather than synergies across both brands and models.
The very first vehicle to use MQB-based modularity will be the new Audi A3 due in the summer of 2012.

Half leather is an option, and Xennons are standard, at least in German spec.

^ Really like the overall look of the car.
The alloys suit the car really well. Nice to see something different. Dare I say though the wheels look like they are a bit vauxhall'ish? ( Need to wash my mouth out now ) :smiley:
You just new the wing mirrors would be painted black gloss as well.
-
Is it me or does the front bumper have a bit of sculpting to it round the edges at the bottom?
Anyway, I like it.
I doubt I could justify the money to change mine for one though so I'll just have to admire everyone elses!!!
And thanks for putting the pics up Dave. :smiley:
-
What actually different on that then?
Apart from the obvious wheels all I can see thats different is smoked rear lights and the black wing mirrors . . . that cant be it can it?
I like the wheels, they instantly reminded me of the Montreal 2 wheels that came on the MK4 GTI.

The wheels are very vauxhall, they are called snowflakes on vx's iirc

^^^^This is exactly what everyone said when the edition 30 came out - and we all know that VW went the extra mile there with the turbo. Maybe the car has the "old" K04 and TFSi in it or maybe it has a TSi with a different turbo or maybe, just maybe, it is an uber detuned 2.5 with 4WD (I wish! :grin:)

Yeah, but the ED30 looks quite a bit different to the standard GTI (to be fair, thats mainly because it came with the colour coded bumpers thinking about it). Cant do that with the MK6 can they.
Id love it to have the "old" engine. That would mean out of the 3 Golf sport models, 2 of them would have the MK5 engine :D
-
It looks like 18'' wheels in the photos, but I'd bet 19s are available as an extra (at a 'modest' sum too no doubt!!)
-
Same rims fitted to the Concept X Rocco at last years Worthersee, think these was 19" but not sure the Edition 35 will, they look a bit better on these shots though.

Like the colour of that Ed35 and that's it.
The worst features: seats then wheels then door mirrors.
Give up VW. It's beginning to look like a tart's hankey. :sick:
-
Hmmm... the wheels look quite good on the Scirocco, but not on the Golf.
Perhaps because the Golf ones look small in comparison - or maybe its the colour that doesn't suit.
The ED30 seats were the best of both worlds with their half and half trim. Good for hot / cold weather. Heated seats much more effective with the cloth base / back. The bolsters were much more solid than cloth... and the seats still kept the tartan theme. These don't LOOK as good - but should be pretty practical.
Oh yeah... and a golfball gear knob again!
-
The problem I have with the ED35 will be the cost, I bet it pushes the price far too close to the cost of an R, and who would buy an ED35 over an R - Not me for sure.

When I ordered an ED30 at the beginning of 2007, I was given the tough choice of that or an R32. By the time I added xenons, armrest, rear tints and highine computer to the ED30 - they were almost the same price as most of those options were included in the R32.
I took the ED30 for fuel economy, road tax and tunability.
The ED35 won't really have any of those benefits over the R in the MK6... so hopefully they'll price it a bit more competitively?

Yeah that's the bit I'm not convinced on, there isnt much room to move on the price I don't think, as the GTI costs far too much as it is, £31,500 for my spec car now! Which is mental.

Looks like it is €3150 (£2756) over the price of a standard GTI in Germany

It would be a bit pointless bringing out a 35th anniversary model earlier or later than the anniversary.
That would be like me bringing flowers and chocolates home to the missis 3 days after the anniversary and wishing her a happy anniversary - The chocolates would be lobbed at me and the flowers broken in two :laugh:

That is true but a limited edition GTI isn't anything close to being in the same league as an RS3.

Why would it be anywhere near 35k?
I can't see any spec you would 'need' that would tip it at £35k?
Apart from standard spec, dynaudio, winter pack what elese is there. Even DSG wouldn't push it up that much or am I missing something?
I really want an R, but the price difference between that an a GTI is just way too much, and I can't see even with a good deal you getting an R for much less than £30k?

My current spec car is close to £32k and it doesn't have Dynaudiomor ACC, add those and the ED 35 premium and there is no doubt a very nice spec car will be £35k.
I'd love a R but the very high price puts me off too.

............ED 30 has same ride hight as standard GTI.
-
Hmmm... the Mk 5 Ed30 and R32 were quite different cars. The Ed30 was both faster and (arguably) better looking than the R32. The R32 offered that creamy V6, delicious burbling exhaust note and 4WD over the Ed30.
However, the dynamics are different now for the Mk 6 Ed35 and R.
The Mk 6 R is faster and (arguably) better looking than the Ed35. It also has 4WD. The Ed35 is really just a tuned GTI with a few sparkly additions inside (nice seats) and out (new wheels, front bumper, door sills, etc). I can't see any real benefits over an R apart from maybe exclusivity? Though, the R is hardly common even after being on sale for over a year.
I can't really see why you'd go for one over an R. All comes down to price I suppose. Then again, I am biased. :smug:

............ED 30 has same ride hight as standard GTI.
It actually says:
"VW hasn’t mentioned any details of any suspension or other mechanical upgrades, except for the boost in power. But the Edition 30 did receive lower suspension, so it is likely the Edition 35 will receive similar tweaks."
Don't believe a word of it!

Is it still going to have the TSI engine with K03 turbo in it or the TFSI K04 ( cupra ) engine???

Yea me too , but could'nt justify the bills anymore :rolleyes:

Could be a future classic.
The ED30s hold their value really well and are really sought after, I can see this being the same.
-
For me it makes sense financially just to completely pay the GTI off over the next couple of years and trade it in for a Mk7. Extending the finance for an R or ED35 at this stage doesn't make sense to me when the Mk7 is a year or so away. I just hope the GTI holds it value for when I come to sell it in the future as they cost enough in the bloody first place these days.
-
No way will you be getting a MK7 GTI in a year, Id say your at least 2 years away from having a MK7 GTI sitting on your driveway.
-
Agree with Martin.
No point getting one's knickers in a twist, at least for now for me. I keep a car for 3 years, so I'll twist my panties at the end of 2012. :grin:

You are a man after my own arse. :grin:
I'll be ready for a Mk7 GTI Spring 2013, if I am still alive. In the meantime, I'll just go hunting for new lacey undies, lace Wolfgang's headrests, hang some danglies from the rear view mirror, polish his pipes and mine, throw up every time I see those disgusting over-embossed Ed35 seats and crappy wheels and enjoy the music of the night. :laugh:

Ha ha.. Looked at a few of the turbi kits available myself. With all the other extras you would need you are probably looking at close to 30k but still money well spent I would say.
Much better value than the R... So much better to drive than a gti or ed30! Only thing holding me back is insurance :(

Not me... Been around long enough to know that sticking a few extra bits on a car helps boost sales as a model comes towards the end of its life. Every manufacturer does it... Doesn't mean everyone buys into it.

agree with R32UK.. look at the porsche 997....
how many 'Limited Edition' Specs have they brought out recently....

Agree with Martin.
No point getting one's knickers in a twist, at least for now for me. I keep a car for 3 years, so I'll twist my panties at the end of 2012. :grin:
No panties and no knickers to twist.... I'm commando man :laugh:
Apart from the days I wear the wifes undies.
You are a man after my own arse. :grin:
I'll be ready for a Mk7 GTI Spring 2013, if I am still alive. In the meantime, I'll just go hunting for new lacey undies, lace Wolfgang's headrests, hang some danglies from the rear view mirror, polish his pipes and mine, throw up every time I see those disgusting over-embossed Ed35 seats and crappy wheels and enjoy the music of the night. :laugh:
This topic is now getting boring and is like premature ejaculation. :evil:
Clench..! :smiley:
-
Just buy an R forget ED35 :rolleyes:
-
Its funny we all sort of feel the same way about this one.
I'm not sure what to do, wanted an R when we swapped our 3 year old edition 30, but couldn't justify it then, and can't really now to be honest at the current list price anyway.
So settled for a standard GTi which is great, but wanted to make sure it was paid off in full within 2 years. So what to do, swap for an Edition 35, or wait for a mk7 GTi..............

Think of it this way..... hold on for the mk7 golf and see if it floats your boat. If it dosen't then buy a mint nearly new ED35 or an R which would probably save yourself a few pennies as well...!

Well I jumped into my old Mk3 banger and headed off to London Town for a Rolling Road day...only 565 miles each way.
How many of you Mk6 heros would have taken that on in your Mk6 GTI?
I'll wager not too many :wink:
Oh, and it returned 34.5 MPH, on a cam'd and tuned 16v...exactly the same as my Mk6 gives...whilst spinning at 4000RPM on it's c/r gearbox...and was perfectly civil for all 1100+ miles of the journey.
Where's the progress there?
Oh, and I managed to break the engine of the Mk3...yet still drove it home somewhere between 3 and 4 cylinders. It cost me 3 spark plugs and 9 liters of oil...but it made it.
Try that in a Mk6 with it's tendancy to throw engine check lights up and enter 'limp mode' at the drop of a hat!
I know which one could be driven home, broken, without the need for the AAs/RACs flatbed!
Something you can't do in a Mk6.
Sometimes progress isn't what people think.
-
I can't believe you just tried to imply that the HMS MK3 is better than a MK6.
LMAO!!!!!! :D

Fair point Ess_Three back in the day you could certainly work on an engine yourself and there were no complicated electronics. But its also fair to say the life expectancy of modern day engines is likely to be alot greater than an engine say 20 years ago if its well looked after.
Good on you for driving down to London in a Mk3 or Mk6 anway....... When I visit my relations in Glasgow I let the plane take the strain.
-
I can't believe you just tried to imply that the HMS MK3 is better than a MK6.
LMAO!!!!!! :D
Not sure if you read that or not...but I didn't imply that at all.
I merely stated that an old Mk3 made a 600+ mile journey with a broken engine...that you couldn't do in a Mk6. At all. Not possible.
And for all the improvements & advancements, the 16 year old Mk3 (running high lift cams, a close ratio gearbox and sticky tyres) returned the same fuel economy as VW's latest TFSI does...
So you tell me, where's the progress? :grin:
-
Same economy yet how much more power does the MK6 have over it?
I do see what you are getting at with the whole broken engine thing, but thats just te way modern cars are I suppose. The fact the engine broke doesnt really help your cause though ;) :D
-
Same economy yet how much more power does the MK6 have over it?
15 BHP.
195 BHP vs 210 BHP
The Mk3 was sitting at 4000RPM too...what does a Mk6 sit at doing 80 MPH?
3000RPM?
And with far better aerodynamics on a Mk6...where's the progress? :grin:
I do see what you are getting at with the whole broken engine thing, but thats just te way modern cars are I suppose. The fact the engine broke doesnt really help your cause though ;) :D
True...at least with a 'simple' engine and no OBD stuff to contend with, you can keep tipping oil in, keep changing plugs and drive 600+ miles with a broken engine!
Modern cars trip to the 'safe' condition of limited emissions too readily.
We would have been on a flatbed, had we taken my Mk6, not my Mk3 and it had broken.
-
lol that's so true.... been paying for new car loans every 3 since I can remember now. Would have paid the mortgage off now if I owned an old mk3 banger :evil:
But you would have probably paid the mortgage off in half the time, meaning that you would be buying your GTI's with cash by now.

I agree Steve, I will want a MK7 when it comes out but the price will be far too much. I ain't paying £35k for a Golf GTI.
Jim

Yeah it's getting to the stage where it's just crazy money. Think I'd be more inclined to pay full whack for an Audi A3 replacement when it comes out, than an old model GTI which will be replaced sometime in the next year or so anyway.

I've been thinking the same Martin.
When I first saw the ED35 I thought ''Yes, I like that'' but the more I read Dave's links and realised a lot of the stuff on the press release car looks like it's going to be optional I thought ''what's the point?''. It'll be a good used buy in 3 or so years time maybe but not a wise buy if bought new. Unless VW do a discount run sometime to clear stocks of obsolete model when the mk7 starts tooling up for production.
I was again looking at Leon Cupra Rs recently. It'd be stupid to buy one new unless your company is stumping up the cash but as a used buy: Cupra R with Nav and Xenons, 6 months old and about £20k, less if you want a yellow one (and yellow is very much a 'classic' Cupra colour and suits the styling). Not much more than you'd pay for a six month old FR TDI with similar spec.
Me want!
Just like my Missus; I'll forgive the looks cos she was cheap! (I'll deny ever saying that !!!) :grin:

Hi Andy........ Just checking your still alive and your Mrs has done you in after your last post :smiley:
I really like the Cupra R Leons and would def consider one next time seeing as the GTI is getting so pricey. If only the interiors were just a little better in the Seat's.
-
Ssssh, don't tell her!
The FL Leon's do have slightly better plastics than the ealy mk2s but don't look too hard at the door trims. I've been round the Castle Combe as a passenger in REVOs stage 2 Leon Cupra being piloted by a pukka race driver, I can confirm the door trims do bash your elbows quite a bit!
My mate has run one as his company car for a while (FR TDI) and actually once you've spent a bit of time in the cab you don't really look at it that much.
I actually quite like the funny plastic on the top of the dash - cheap 'n' cheeful just like my....errr...I won't mention her again..... :grin:

Well, my lousy mpg figures have shoved a cracker up my pert petrol bottom. As I don't do much mileage and being the proud owner of a Freedom Pass and with no mortgage, I don't really feel the pinch as much as some of you young Turks with all the mod cons of modern living.
However, I refuse to pay out £30k+ for a fast VW. It's plain daft.
Maybe VW want the VW brand to be now considered a Premium Product. I say, get the kcuf off to them.
What happened to benevolent Capitalism or Socialism, eh?
'Ve have vays and means to be ze biggest and ze greediest', is their motto.
VW: You are the people's car so don't sh!t on your Audi parade. But then, I suppose, if upstart Skoda can do it to VW, why not VW to Audi?
Maybe I am getting a bit confused and need to go outside and lick Wolfgang's pipes before it gets too dark ... Bottoms up!
As for the Ed35 ... Naff off ... :tongue:
-

Correct!
It'll be dearer, have a more bling interior and be far worse to drive.

-
All new cars are overpriced, its a mugs game buying a car new imo.
Someone has to buy them...or there would be no used ones for others to buy.
All new cars are expensive. Just face it.
Used cars are worth bugger all. Just face that too.
If you want one, and can afford it...buy it.
If you don't or can't...don't.
It'll not stop me...that's why I drag my arse out of bed in the morning and go to work.
My GTI would cost £33k at todays prices...would it stop me buying it?
No.
I'll still order new and put all the options on that I want...and if I can't afford to change the car, I'll stick to the one I've got.
-
I wonder when the best time is to chop and change the GTI is? Mine will probably have 50K on the clock by the time I sell it in 2.5 years when the finance is completly paid. I suppose that will be considered a reasonable millage for a four year old car. One things for sure I will keep it mint. Best car I've ever owned and hope I can afford one again. Maybe I'll end up with a nearly new ED35 as a replacement.

Oh of course, you got the money then fill you boots. Someone somewhere has to pay over the odds so I can save a few grand buying a year old one. What would I do without them ;) :kiss:

Where would the used car buyers be without new buyers?
Personally, I'm happy to pay 'a few grand' more and have an un-abused car in the spec I want.
Each to their own though.

These are going to come in at around 27.5k plus paint and xenons so about 29k, will i get one, i dont know, i am all for blowing money on brand new cars but i think they are taking the pi$$ now, after all its "just a golf"
-
Looks like the Xenons are standard according to the German PDF floating about.

Yea standard price as well Mike , thats why the car is expensive no doubt :wink:

Id wait to see what VW UK have to say first though. The standard GTI in some countries (Dubai) comes with xenons as standard. VW UK dont miss a trick when it comes to making more money.

Hello all. Word on the strasse is that the Ed35 uses the older TFSI engine with K04 like the Ed30, Golf/Scirocco R, S3, Leon Cupra etc - so a good basis for big power should you feel the need.
Apart from the Mk4-esque wheels, I like it. Xenons are standard by the way.

Big anti campaigns for Xenons/Hids and DRLs.

Ive been looking at that front bumper for ages now trying to figure out whats different apart from the black lip. As others kept saying about the flare. I have just now seen the lower flare at the side near the lower lip/foglight as its so low in real life i never noticed it was not on the standard GTI until i went and looked :grin:
Bluemotion side skirts..
Non colour coded bargin basement 'L' spec door mirrors.
Its worse trying to find the differences than the SEAT leon FR/Cupra/CupraR :grin:

I think they got it right with the Edition 30. I saw a black one in Clerkenwell this morning and it looked the business. They look good in red (see, I can be nice about red Asker) but I'd never seen a black ED30 before. Made me want my BBS wheels much sooner. I could avoid paying the builders for a few days come to think of it.... :grin:
-
So is the Edition 35 still using the same engine as the GTI?

I'd be very suprised if it doesnt, it's a step back for VW if they use the old engine and say's that they don't have confidence in their current GTI engine IMO.
I know that the R uses the 'old' engine but that kicks out quite a bit more power.

-
The bookies favourite is still the ED30/Cupra engine at present.
I read somwhere once not so long ago that the EA888 had things that prevented VW using it as the basis of big power units. No baffles in the sump was one, can't remember the other things.
As the ED35 is just the mk6 swansong model I reckon the scale of production will mean a tried and tested unit will be used. Alternatively you could guess that it could be the forerunner of the mk7 GTI engine using a modified EA888.
My money would be going where the bookies put theirs. We'll know for sure fairly soon.

You're a bad man for trying to tempt me. You've got the wheel right but I'd prefer mine in silver not black. :smiley:

Having done a quick check of the specs from various brochures; the GTI EA888 engine produces around 170 g/km of CO2. So you'd expect a lightly tuned EA888 to produce slightly more than that but much less than the R.
Not so.
The ED35 is just under 190 g/km which is almost identical to its very close family relative: The Leon Cupra and Cupra R both put out 190 g/km. And we all know the Leon Cupra has the EA113 K04 unit. :smiley:

they will hold their value very well though esp with a limited number coming to the UK. I have a friend running a 500+bhp M3 and the car still handles like it should. As its virtually sharing the same chassis... this is THE car to use as a base for modding. Im sure it will be well worth the wait and well put together.
Suddenly I feel this car is more desirable than the M3 :lipsrsealed:

Call me old fashioned, but I somehow dislike the wheel design (I am Monza Shadow mad), black door mirror housings (unless it is on a white car where they really look amazing) and the side-skirts (many also dislike the side skirts on the standard GTI). But it is a matter of personal taste and should not put you off buying a really superb car.
Without me seeing the car in reality, all my comments should be taken with a pinch of salt, anyway. I will admit my previous comment was harsh and unfair. Apologies.
Maybe, us common GTI owners are a bit jealous and don't wish to admit it. :wink:
How about just getting an R. :smiley:

Snoopy's comments on the door mirrors are perfectly understandable, for years and years the top of the range model had colour coded mirror housings and the poverty spec repmobiles had black plastic unpainted mirror housings. The black housings on the current top line VAG sports models obviously remind us oldies of bargain basement cars. It's just an observation and fashions change.
There are plenty of well informed statements in amongst the other opinions.
I for one am not an ED35 'hater'. I quite like it. But it's expensive, too expensive (and that's without knowing the retail price!).
The car has many unique features and like other anniversary editions it may well be that the sum of the extra parts will be worth more than the retail price difference once we do know the price in the UK. It looks as an anniversary model should, subtly different but enough to be noticed by those in the know.
It's still only available in the dull standard GTI colours though.
So, get a Rising blue R instead. Classic (as modern disposable cars go).
Having said that I quite fancy a Steel/United Grey ED35 myself. But not as much as a blue R.
In another 12 months or so I'm sure we'll be inundated with a fresh round of people looking forward to the latest greatest GTI model and all the mk3 boys will be jumping down their necks!!!

I agree with that Steve, and have to say I fancy an R, only problem is that for the spec I want it's £35.5K :shocked: which is a little on the heavy side. Having said that, I might push the boat out and go for it. Alternatively a used, low mileage, pristine example with my preferred spec could be the way to save a few grand :undecided:

+1 on the Monza's, I think they are fabulous and better than the wheels shown on the pic of the ED35. As per my reply to Steve earlier, my real preference is the R, if I can stretch my budget that is :laugh:

That colour of RB is now as common as muck on an R and has now become the default 'Essex' hue. Vulgar due to popularity.
How about a classy Shadow Blue (SB)? The colour has only recently been made available for the R.

Shadow Blue has been available since launch for the R... it's just not many people chose it. It's one of those colours that only looks good in bright sunshine. In dull conditions, it looks... well a bit dull.

The wheels are more aggressive which is the current trend and not particularly to my subtle taste :cool:
But as I'm still desperate to shod my baby with new 18s. They could be the answer?

LOL this is true..... we are off topic but we are just taking a break to admire the R :smiley:
My thoughts with the ED35 is as an overall package it will be a great car and also be a very desirable one as the ED30's were and still are.
For me I don't really see the point of swapping a Mk6 GTI for an ED35 at this stage unless the dealers would be willing to give a really good trade in price to make it worthwhile.

I read in Auto Express or in Car or in some other rag that it's price in the Uk will be £2000 above the base price for a GTI. Considering it comes with those hideous wheels and part-leather benches, I would consider it excellent value for money if you are a person with bad taste. :sick:

^ you sound like the mk5GTI owners when the edition30 came out. The cycle just repeats itself and i have seen every cycle.
It's like history repeating itself, same thing happens with each 'anni' imo...
MK4... Initially received a lukewarm reception due to it 'only being a GTi with a bodykit and fancy rims blah blah blah'... then everyone realises it has a ko3s, the added extras are a bargain and all of a sudden the 'scene' can't get enough...
MK5... Again the same lukewarm reception and a huge number of forum banter about it being a letdown, 'just a GTi with a bodykit and some boring grey BBS rims, 230Bhp is a joke in the current hot hatch market blah blah blah'... then everyone wakes up to the fact it has a Ko4 and the extra kit is actually a bargain and all of a sudden its the darling of the scene again and hugely popular...
MK6... Same is happening all over again... my 2p worth... Give it a year and people will be trading in their grandparents for one... :wink:
Well said :congrats:

The key difference here is that a good spec ED 35 is going to cost just under £35k, that money opens up a whole number of other much better cars......

I would love the seats if they were devoid of the hideous massive motive on them which makes the interior look totally awful to these eyes.

The sad thing is its nothing i have not read before from mk4 or mk5 owners. Or heard from mk3, mk2 or mk1 owners when anni models come out :grin: Its the old addage of people will defend what they have. Until they buy one then its the best thing since sliced bread.
A minority don't do this of cause.
Its when i hear people say the R's better or this is better or thats better. It depends what your after, your priorities, what you want a car for, etc and each persons personal opinion.. I could have easily bought an R for cash that my local dealer had in when i nearly cancelled my GTI order due to the dealer/VW for example but in the real world i did the calculations and pros and cons list. It gave me for what i wanted and use a car for very little if anything for alot more outlay, an outlay i decided i could use to buy other cars for my collection for winter and summer use. So i stuck with my original order through thick and thin. Others just want the top of the range or the fastest, thats fine, me i look at everything and way up the pros and cons and will i actually ever need or use what im paying extra for.
Sorry to go on but reading some other forums makes me do this, as they seem to think there car is superior and everyone wants one. Sorry but i don't If i had 100million in the bank my car collection would be exactly the same except for one extra car and that one cars only ~£3K which im still looking for a good one.

Lord Gilbert aka R32UK:
What you are trying to purport is not true at least in my case. I do care very much how my car drives as well as how it looks. I think only one of the above applies to you and we all know what that is. But then your car has not driven very well for sometime. :tongue:
You seem to relish in providing a platform for an argument which I find pointless. I will say it again and again until I drum it into you, :kiss:, that I dislike leather seats and seats with large numbers on them. Anything wrong with that?
Neither are the wheels to my taste. Anything wrong with that?
Apart from the above the £2000 increase in price is excellent value for a MOSTLY desirable package. Anything wrong with that?
I await your succinct smart arse reply with bated breath. :grin:

You seem to relish in providing a platform for an argument which I find pointless. I will say it again and again until I drum it into you, :kiss:, that I dislike leather seats and seats with large numbers on them. Anything wrong with that?
Neither are the wheels to my taste. Anything wrong with that?
Apart from the above the £2000 increase in price is excellent value for a MOSTLY desirable package. Anything wrong with that?
I await your succinct smart arse reply with bated breath. :grin:
my point is not just directed just at you. but you will do as an example. how many times have you actually redlined your car and driven it they way it should be!! I do wth almost every journey (granted we are not all so lucky to have the opportunity to do so). So who are you to say the limited edition isnt worth the extra £2k. I can think of a few owners that have spent more that £2k on their cars having changed std parts :rolleyes:
the fact remains that people slag off a car because it doesnt look like they want it to.. or they change the spec and suddenly the car isnt what it used to be. As snoopy said.. this happens with every new model. nothing changes but the people who say it. :wink: :smiley:
-
Exactly if someones after an Edition 30 replacment but without the 100Kg heldex then its an option over the scirocco R.
Its the VW Golf equivalent of the SEAT Leon Cupra over the SEAT Leon FR.
-
not sure why you seem to think my car is not running right... it runs at bang on 265bhp. :cool:
-
Gilly, my dear I did not say the car is not worth the extra £2000 but I don't like the wheels and the motif on the seats. :tongue:
-
Gilly, my dear I did not say the car is not worth the extra £2000 but I don't like the wheels and the motif on the seats. :tongue:
but you dont like your headlights, rear lights, gear knob, foot rests, head unit, sound system and a whole load of other stuff you have changed. the main difference between this car and the gti is the engine!! the rest is just there so people in the hunt can justify it to themselves

Oh, I just wanted to say I like it except for the 35 motif on the seats which is no deal breaker. :tongue:

We already know from ze Germans that it uses the ED30 engine with K04 - maybe with some minor updates, but until we actually look under the bonnet we'll have to wait and see :smiley:

Other intersting info, it uses the S3 front alloy arms.

-
I still like the wheels :cool:
-
White one with the iron cross wheels please :cool:
-
As much as I wouldn't buy one new simply because of the price, it looks great, better than the standard GTI imo. Another sure fire way to screw over the second hand price of our cars in the future, because if I were buying used I'd get the ED35 over a standard every time.
Jim
-
Thanks for the pics. Looking for a 5 door picture - not managed to track one down yet.....
-
Is that carbon fibre interior trim? Not sure, but it does look like it. :undecided:
-
Looks like it from here as well.
Looks like the ED30 engine as well as you had already suspected.
Does this mean that VW don't trust their new GTI engine to go reliably to 235BHP?
The Xenons have appeared in all pictures I have seen, are they standard are is it just all the marketing shots.
-
Exactly how many times will you have to explain what the '35' on the seats means to passengers??
Otherwise I like the seats though, all the advantages of leather (nice look and feel) without the problem of being sweaty, too hot or too cold.
235bhp - boring.
-
I'm still not feeling the 'vxr style wheels on the CW car. I much prefer the black wheels on the red ED35.
-
I'm lovin the red one! :drool: Gorgeous!

In Germany the xenons are standard - hopefully they will be over here too - £1100 option if not!!!!

Interesting video from the preview, got to say that firespark red looks way better in this vid than on the photos.
See around 1.24 for the ED35

golf r everytime

I actually quite like the red one for some odd reason, but then i have always liked metallic red cars and the colour looks :tongue: in the video.
S3 alloy arms and hubs, thats one up on the cut price golf R then :grin:
Noticed the centre grill section is now black to match the lower lip rather than metallic grey.
-
golf r everytime
+1 I never thought I'd say it but the R would now be my choice over the Ed35.
The Edition 30 I thought was gorgeous. The wheels suited the car and the styling (inside and out) was both subtle but very effective. The Edition 30 raised the profile of the already great Mk5 GTI and essentially made it perfect.
The Edition 35 doesn't do this for the Mk6. I agree with the sentiments that the wheels on the white model look vxr-ish. The wheels on the red one for me look too aftermarket.
Interior wise I'm afraid it doesn't get any better for me. Aside from the golf-ball style shifter there is nothing inside that really celebrates the GTI. The Ed30 had half leather/ half tartan seats which combined the history and image of the GTI with a touch of refinement and class. The new seats look like they are out of Halfords tbh.
235bhp seems to be the widely expected power output. I could live with that but I do feel like VW could have stepped it up a notch (seems to be the story of VW power outputs these days).
Not doing it for me... and then there is the price hike.
a) If I was buying another GTI, there is little that does it for me on the Ed35 over a standard GTI.
b)If I was spending the money that the Ed35 is likely to be, the R offers a more powerful, more classy and more stylish package IMO plus there is 4wd when you need it.
-
I tend to agree with Penguin's eloquent reasoning, but not about the knob. The Ed30 knob I have is much nicer. :smiley:
-
The red one with the black wheels does it for me. It looks very nice indeed.
I wouldn't rush out and trade mine in for one thought tbo. As PenguinGTI says you might as well buy and R instead if your thinking along the lines of trading a Mk6 GTI in.
I'm not sure the ED35 will be as successful as the ED30.
-
ooh blimey :huh:
Now I've seen the close up pics definitely glad I ordered the R :smug:
-
Well I would deffo have an R over this :sick:

If it has golf and gti on it I am sure it will be.......but you right doesn't look as special as the edition 30 did over a standard car. Maybe the standard is car just too good....

take of those silly wheels and that doesnt actually look that bad :lipsrsealed:

I like that :cool: :cool: :cool:

I rather like the GTI cabriolet :smiley:

^^^ very nice but wouldn't buy one as i'm just not into soft-tops :cool:
-
Nothing better on a hot summers day.
I currently have an EOS and love the open top feeling.
It's a 1.4 160 but.... the GTI is 2mpg better on the same run :shocked:
Probably due to the weight of the EOS.

Can't believe I'm saying this but I actually really like that soft top :smiley:

I would definitely change the wheels though. Monza Shadows would be my choice - Don't get too excited Asker (ha who am I kidding, you're excited :laugh:)

An Golf R cabriolet is in the pipeline as well. Not as nice as the GTI one though imo.

Now that I want, fed up of seeing R26 Rs flying round the ring.
They still need to dump those heavy xenons and replace the seats with some proper one piece carbon buckets.

They all look pooh compared to Wolgang.

All I can say is this and I am unanumous in my opinion .... Get an R istead and forget the half-way house. It's a tart's hanky inside and out.

35,000euro thats just over £32,000.
The equivelent GTI is 30,875euro or £28,250 so £3750 difference! :shocked:

Theres two sets one silver one smoked of the 18s It lists them on the German configurator as a no cost option.
-
I reckon a 3 door Ed35 will end up costing around £28K. When you consider that a basic GTI with xenons and 18's is around £26,700 that would be less than 2K extra.
On a separate topic, I noticed that the standard GTI/GTD come with darkened R LED tails in Germany, rather than the red ones fitted in the UK.

Okay, I do like it a bit

My copy of Volkwagen Driver mag has plopped through the letterbox and in it is a mention that VW are whizzing an ED35 over specially for GTI International on the Sunday. Sadly the other Worthersee specials are tied up elsewhere racing.
It'll be interesting to hear what people think of it who've seen it in the metal. I've asked my wife if she'd mind moving her birthday this year but so far have been unsuccessful with negotiations......

Yeah, I was wondering whether Mr B had rushed back and put the info to press before he'd had a chance to read it all through properly. There are some anomolies with German spec from their write up too, but I reckon VW UK will try and limit the options as much as possible as by then it'll just be a runout model.
-
will it be limited to
14,435,768 1500 units like the ed30?
-
Change of policy, they're now only going to produce as many as they can be arsed and then suddenly terminate all UK orders before manufacture in order to start mk7 production, to pay us back for complaining last time round.

TBH the wheels looked nice on the car.
-
I do like the colour.
The colour was the nicest ive seen on a MK6, could really see the metalic flake in the sun.
Would i have one if it was available in the UK?
HELL YES! :grin:
-
I saw this too at Inters today - it looks great in the metallic red. But the standard rear bumper needs something different to tie it in with the sideskirts and new front bumper - perhaps the diffuser in gloss black to match the door mirrors and front lower grille insert.
Nice colour and pictures. Wonder if it still has those gaudy seats. :rolleyes:
The seats were in the same tartan cloth as the standard GTI, but with leather bolsters (I think) and 35 on the headrest.
-
@mac7: Thanks regarding the seat combo. Glad they saw sense.
Fanatastic colour. I wish the GTI was available in metallic red.
-
Also saw this at Inters; colour is fantastic but there's not enough differences between it and the standard GTI to make it look like a special edition :sad:
Very poor effort IMO compared to the previous Anniversary models
-
I'm still on the fence with the 35.
It looks nice, but not that nice.
It's going to be too expensive unless VW drop the prices in a mk6 stock clearout before they tool up for mk7 production.
It will be too close to the R in pricing once you've added a few options, will be not much quicker than a normal GTI as standard, not as economical to run, will probably cost more to tax and insure and doesn't look that much different.
So all I can sum up with is it will look good value in 3 years time at about half the original cost and no warranty conditions to upset with the obligatory remap.
-
Love the colour but evertime I see those wheels I picture VXR astra's wheels :sick:
Having said that they have grown on me but I prefer the 'Iron Cross' wheels as an option.
-
The only slight issue with the colour is - you won't be able to have it!
Not available.
Every desireable model of mk6 VW have released press shots for have been in this colour - the 2009 Worthersee Edition, the Excessive (or whatever it was called last year), some of the pre production Rs and now the Anni 35.
But you can't have the colour.
-
And I can't have the Duchess of Cambridge either. The Duke is another matter! :evil: :sick:
-
Why is there a second thread on the ED35? Is not one enough? :rolleyes:

Don't like any of those wheels, the black door mirrors (apologies Jim) and the white 35 logo on the seats which is NAF.
Reminds me of a vain woman who has a face lift which only makes her look ugly and ridiculous. :sick:
-
Just so little difference between the edition 35 and my own 09 GTI, especially with those seats which apart from the addition of the "35" are exactly the same, I had thought they were part leather.
I shall not be purchasing one and will now await the mk7 in the hope for a more trendy look.

If you're actually in the market for a new GTI, then the ED35 looks okay, depending on how much they charge for it.
But it's not got any drop dead gorgeous features that would make you want to sell a kidney for one.
I guess if you're going to modify your car further it'd make a good proposition, but then again the standard 2.0 TSI re-maps pretty well so even then it's only marginal unless you're chasing really big power. And if you are doing that you may as well plump for an ED30 as that won't have a warranty that you'll be paying £15k extra for and immediately flushing down the toilet.
So in short, the ED35 looks nice enough to my eyes, but not that nice (especially if you fit the Glandales as they can be ordered on a normal GTI anyway). Good run out model, subtle enough to make a difference to those in the know, and for those that aren't, they can still see its GTI 'heritage' and won't care anyway. :smiley:

As Autocar said ..... not as refined as the standard GTI due to that older lump of an engine. :smug:
-
If I was buying a new GTI I would get this over the standard one, but it's not as special as the MKIV Anni's and ED30.

I said IF, MKVI's won't fall into my price range for a good 15 years. :grin:

I doubt there will be many left in 15yrs time... only the ones that get looked at rather than driven :evil:
-
anyone have a part number for the 35 gear knob yet :drool:
-
I had a 25th, a 30th - but this no. Where is the advancement in 5 years???
VW Marketing stinks!

It has a black dashboard instead of a grey one, that's what's called progress...... :grin:

That ED35 does really look nice. :wink:
-
Nice, but not far enough removed from the original mk6, a few extra bhp but more emissions, just doesn't make sense to me.

Agree, give it the power it deserves....

Having previously slated the Ed35, I must now eat my foot and say that I think that one pictured looks sensational.
But please VW, more power.

Well it does have the Edition 30/Golf R/S3/Cupra/Cupra R engine so a rechip breaths life into it.

And invalidates your warranty :rolleyes:
-
But its all down to the curse of the R badged cars. Its been the limiting factor of the GTIs power since 1992. The mk3 GTI16V was strangled with engine timing so it did not upset the VR6 and its happened ever since.
If you want a more powerful faster 2wd GTI you have to buy a SEAT its been like that since the 90s.
-
Is this actually now coming to the UK?
Seem odd, its so late with an introduction?
and as you can actually get the black 19" glendales on a normal GTi now, does this suggest it won't be in the UK?

I've been told yes by VW and it was reported in Autocar that it would be here in a few months time.
But its all down to the curse of the R badged cars. Its been the limiting factor of the GTIs power since 1992.
But the R brand only arrived in 2003 - or do you mean the VR6? (I had to try hard to resist making a quip about front wheel drive :wink:)

I did say VR6 in the post when i discussed the mk3 :wink:
