Ed30 all day long out of your listed choices.
Dsg for sure, totally awesome and i certainly wont buy another stick shifter.
Mpg is average, expect around 25 average if you live in the city. 30mpg if you live outa town.
Motorway cruising will get you around 35mpg from 70mph.
Tuning goes without question. Ed30 has the best potential and with dsg will punch above its weight against more powerful performance cars in the 300-350 bracket.
As a family car, in 5 door, ive had 3 mk5 5dr GTi's over 4 years and its more the big enough for my family of 4, eldest child is 7yrs.
Tyres are around £90-£100 a corner. Servicing costs a year around £250 if you factor in service costs plus perhaps Oil top ups, as some may like the odd drop and require a litre or 2 between services.
£40k service is generally the biggy, expect to shell around £400 for lube service ,dsg service and brake fluid service all around this mileage
Xenons, multifuntion steering wheel, Highline computer, Sat Nav, to go with the standard half and half leather/ tartan Cloth.Cruise control, rear parking sensors and even reverse camera off the mk6 can be retro fitted if you have the Rns510 sat Nav.
Put it this way, i cant see me selling this car Ever!!, i cant think of anything that ticks as many boxes as this car does.
It gets the looks aswell
