I sort of understand where your coming from, but this car (the mrs's) has always been changed every 2 or 3 years, regardless of what its been in the past.
We didn't buy the Edition 30 as collectors car, or something to modify, we bought it as a good daily runner, something which it is excellent at.
I've got my race car for serious performance and fast fun, so understand a lot of owners on here will have thier cars for that sort of purpose too, and the Edition 30 is a good base for starting from.
Therefore the mk6 seems a good step (be it sideways or backwards

) as a replacement.
Some people change thier cars every 2 or 3 years, some change them every 10, its horses for courses I guess.
