Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Watts on 16 January 2026, 18:49 »I’ve been on the fence with what to do regarding whether to order or not, but sitting in a standard 8.5 GTI sold me - it just feels right and I never got that with the RS3. Plus even the standard 8.5 GTI drives really well, so looking forward to driving the ED50.
I have a pretty high NVH tolerance so not worried about what the PP will drive like on UK roads. Personally I would not order an ED50 without PP.
That's why I got a CS, it also felt right to me too. Very annoying as I really fancied something different. As for ride quality, I'd be surprised if it doesn't exceed your expectations, mine rides beautifully, really comfortable. Probably why I've put over 5k miles on it in less than 4 months...
