Edition30 to Mk6

[Jkctr]

lol youtube videos as evidence 

Of course we know all the vairables and drivers of both cars, passengers, fuel, tyre pressures and how many runs they did, were they both in S, was the GTI on more miles, was it even the owners of the cars in there etc etc

1st video- soon as the R changes out of 1st gear the chap is holding back you can tell by the sound of the R, as jules said youtube as evidence haha. All i know ive had both and id put my house on it a standard R would beat a standard gti 0-100mph. Sorry to go on

waste of time debating it phil if you are going to back track and delete your original post of claiming a standard gti was quicker than a r32  0-100mph.

Erh i havent, the topic was about Edition30.  Edition30 is quicker then the standard Gti.

I quoted the std car because its the same to 100mph according to specs.

My reply was when you said the fastest Golf was the R, i replyied they have, and thats the edition30.

Videos were just to show you how a standard car faired.


If you want to look and see how any ed30's got on against R's ., then be my guest

I have not modded my 1st post!! reply 22! or ANY for that matter.

Pistonheads Classifieds have 08 plate ED30s at £19-£20k even at respected dealers (e.g. Meridien), s the dealers trade in looks very good.   However you'd better check on lead times and when that p/ex applies too - chances are you're looking at 6 months wait.

The ED30 will always hold its value betetr than a std Mk5 GTI, but not by that much.

Whether you think £6k to change is worth it (or more dependent upon spec) only you can answer but your Mk6 will be worth £22k trade the moment you drive it away.

Personally i'd keep the ED30 and spend £400 getting it sound proofed on the door skins and wheel arch/boot area to ease the M-way din.
