£40k service is generally the biggy

^^^ how much??!  :laugh:

DSG equipped ED30, FTW.
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Well considering he doesn't care how fast it is and want good MPG and to use for commuting I would say the only real option is the Passat CC. Will give decent MPG and despite not driving one, I have sat in one and its a lovely place to be and I would imagine is a great cruiser.

If you want the to cruise (with a pipe & slippers) go the Passat CC. I like the look especially with the privicy glass.

Otherwise go for the Edition 30. :afro:
Bye Bye Edition 30

Scared schmared. I've actually been trying to sort out some test drives based on answers here, and prepping for my prospective new employers (and car funding people) job interview. Win.
Carry on.

Don't forget the normal GTI.  It rides better than the ED30, it has a less laggy turbo and it looks better.  A dose of superchips and its faster too.

It does have a less laggy turbo I suppose? Noticeable though? :undecided:

The turbo spools up a full 500 rpm earlier on the real GTI.  The supension of the Edition 30 is 10mm lower, spoiling the ride.  The fully coloured rear bumper make the car look like a big fat Geordy lass on a night out.  And superchips add 40 bhp.
