Excuse the French but please. Use the search function. There are over 20 threads about this mate!

To answer the question :evil:
Highline has a longer screen, and along with that you can set options like centrel locking, lights, and other stuff.

Hope that helps

it is standard... for 50 more quid :wink:

They had to keep the base price down below 20 grand, it's a psychological limit!
It's all psychology, guyz. :smiley:

Post by: phope on 11 June 2007, 18:10: not really...Edition 30 is a well priced car...for Ã‚£1700 extra compared to the GTI, you get a fair amount of upgraded equipment, not least the mechanically enhanced engine

Go and spec an ordinary GTI with 18s, leather trim, heated seats and add in the cost of a remap, and the cost of an Edition 30 is a damn good deal

It's limited edition, yo, so price premium should be there. It includes more, for example completely revised engine. :cool:

I really don't like bunch of radio and telephone buttons on the wheel, for example. Why should it be standard?
Really, it is not that much more expensive than GTI, and with what you get it IS very VERY good value for money. In my opinion. :cool:

I don't think I overpayed on the price of basic Ed30.
Total was 19.5 grand.
