Any Ed30 owners test driven Mk6 R?

[KevG123]

Hi all

Have had my Ed30 DSG from new for 3 years and could be time for a change

Local dealer trying to get hold of an R for me to test drive

In the mean time,had a play with a 250 cup - brilliant car, but having doubts as to if I could ever  do without DSG !

Interested to know if any Ed30 owners have had a drive of the R and what they think

Of course,I always have the option to keep my Ed 30

Dont even consider buying a French car , it will fall to bits load a crap between the 2 cars its like chalk and cheese!! I have driven an R and its brilliant but exepensive get a GTI and map it. The mk6 is a step up from an ED30 better cabin, smoother drive more refined.

Yeah,had all the warnings about getting a Renault

Will hopefully get to drive a Mk6 gti this week so looking fwd to that - will be interesting to see if its as exciting to drive as the Ed30 tho'

Dont get me wrong the ed30 is a very nice drive, I used to own one and loved it , now the R is in a differant league decent spec 36-38 grand but eh ho its only money

I am in the same box as you Ed30 coming 3 years old.Had a short drive in a Manual R20 was really nice very little road noise but i could not live without DSG.I was thinking of keeping the Ed30 but i would be worried about the DSG if i keep it i would take out Warrant.I only have 16,000 miles on my Ed30 never had any trouble with it i love it

Nothing wrong with the Renault, has had excellent reviews in all the roadtests plus a lot cheaper to buy.

Golf R is bonkers money.

Thanks for the comments guys

The 250 Cup - no DSG and it could fall to bits (and is cramped in the back)

Even thought about keeping the ed30 and getting a re-map..

decisions,decisions

Renaults are not as bad as they once where, also Golf mk6 has some poor built in design faults plus from some of the threads on here really poor paintwork.

my mate is an AA man, said most of the cars he gets called out to are french crap!
