First time I have drove a Mk5 (petrol model anyway) and I was very very impressed! :evil: I loved the noise, the drive everything. I was very surprised with its performance, it was quicker than I was expecting :cool:
Would love to get an edition 30 but don't really want to spend that much but will definitely be getting a GTI and then tweaking it, can't wait :smiley:
Just need to get rid of my BMW now ....
-
You know it makes sence ! ;)
What colour you thinking of getting? What Bimmer you got a the moment? I like Bimmers me (almost got one instead of the MK5, shhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Not too fussed about colour to be honest.
My BMW is a 330 d Sport is now in the for sale section! :wink:
-
Ohhh nice. I was looking at 328 - 330 Cis. I feel in love with some of them, lovely cars. But the MK5 won in the end.

Well if you loved that noise... just try taking out an R32 for a drive... it will blow your mind :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Am I correct in assuming you have caught the "R32 bug"? :rolleyes:

LOL, he had an R32 and then swapped for the ED30 :wink:

Alan D have you left your car next to an open fire or did you just do your sig on your own . :laugh:
The edge of your bonnet is turning up. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Ok - I see. He had the "R32 bug", but he's cured for now... :tongue:

Nah... never cured. The moment I set eyes on my new Ed30 and then looked back at the R32 where I'd left it sitting in the dealer forecourt, I had an uneasy feeling that I'd made a mistake. It was confirmed as soon as I started the Ed30 engine and proceeded to drive off. The Ed30 is a fantastic car - better than the R32 in many respects - but it just can't compete with that sound :tongue: In some ways I am glad I did part-ex the R32 because now its dropped in value like a stone and I am circling the autotrader at the moment looking to pick up one within a month and I will keep the Ed30 (the wife will drive it locally and keep the mileage down) and the R32 :evil: :evil: :evil:

lol nah nah, thats just a reflection of the house behind me because I had just washed her and she was all shinney. Never looked at it like that lol

Right decisions decisions.
Is there a noticeable difference in performance between an Ed 30 and normal GTi, cos I loved the Ed 30 but dont want to spend £19k on one. So, think I will go for a normal GTI and do some subtle mods! :wink:
-
There's 30 horses more in the ED30.
Unless you remap the stock GTi. Then it'll feel and run better than the ED30. How much price difference are you looking at? Chances are a few addons + remap will be better in terms of price than paying for a more expensive car.

I have a cure for you Illyun, its called a Turbo back non resonated Milltek :evil: I can confirm the sound is out of this world :evil: And the beauty is when you want to cruise it's no different from standard. :wink:

Not really got a set budget but my needs are 5 doors and leather. If its got them I'm happy, i reckon I could get a good one for around £12k maybe less with some money for mods :smiley:

Motorpoint seem to have a hell of a lot of Edition 30's in stock between £19K and £20K :shocked:

We have huge amount of Edition 30 cars on our main auto-webpage: www.autoscout24.ch
I see quite few Ed30 in the city, very few in fact.

Just need to get rid of my BMW now ....
ED30 is fantastic in all respects, but two:
1) Crazy rattling interior. I may be whinig, but it is DAMN SHAME such a nice car has such low quality fit inside.
2) With 300 hp 1st and 2nd gear are almost useless, especially in wet.

:rolleyes:
1.Not all Golf 5's rattle, mines fine, you must have a friday afternoon build.
2. You take that chance when you try and put 300hp through a pair of front tires on a FWD car.The car wasnt built for 300 hp. Its moddified!

I agree with the second point there. I was not so much complaining as contemplating on what the next car would be like. It is obvious now that I cannot go below 300bhp :nerd:, so RWD or more likely 4x4 will be in the next car. Also, I'll try to find a car that I can mod, as it is huge fun to do. :evil:
As for interior, you may be very lucky! God on you! Mine rattles all over though. :cry:
-
I have never had any rattles from my interior yet :rolleyes:

So has the remap made the rattles any worse??? or does it just rattle what ever you do??
I certainly dont have any rattles from mine and everything seems to be screwed/glued together quite well.. but then the R32 does feel more planted than the Gti.
-
mine doesnt have any rattles either

remap soothes the psychological pain from rattling, in fact.
It rattles especially when it is cold, I guess plastic contracts.
I have "rattly" dashboard now, have to fix it. :sad: Back seat rattles, sometimes doors rattle. Once in a while "moonroof" :rolleyes: rattles when opened...

i know its not warm here, but perhaps its colder there so the plastic is less flexible when cold

Is it definately rattles?? not creaks n sweeks?? I had a problem with creeking when I got mine but that was just the door seals rubbing... easily solved with the oil/lubricant thats used for the same problem in the eos :cool:

I've seen 6 degrees in the morning the other day. Usually it is 9 degrees at 8 in the morning. The car flies in these temps though! :smiley:

creeks, sweeks and rattles, I have the full bag. Vibrations in the dashboard ( in that plastic thing uptop in the middle) sometimes when driving off from green light is especially :huh: :huh: :lipsrsealed:
-
^ Thats a shame mate! Im sure the remap is helping take your mind off things though. Maybe its worth taking things apart yourself and seeing if you can tighten/replace any of the loose screws. Whats the worst that can happen! :huh:
