Edition 35 is here!

What about the R asker ?

I can't see VW using the 2.5 engine, that would mean a base R would cost £40k.....

I never thought of that 
Was gonna keep the Gti till the mk7 R hoping that they would fit the 2.5 ?
Is the lag that bad on the current one, think I might have to get a test drive if I can find a demo

I'm surprised at AW1 post about driving a K04 equivalent recently and finding it lacking, 

It may be due to the type of "test drive" the car was taken on. In traffic, the smaller turbo'd car would be more tractable. Some may say that a lesser powered diesel would be more suited to these sort of conditions. However, show the more highly tuned car a decent flowing B road with a driver who knows how to push the pedals, and you'll see what it has been designed to do.

What about the R asker ?

2.5 lump will be available in the Audi A3 Sportback. However, I understand that VW can be considering this engine in a Mk7 Golf GTI RS!

With my heavy right foot It should be a decent weapon

Does anyone know of a VW dealership where an ED35 is on display?

Based in Southeast but travel with work

Keen to see one in the flesh

Hi,

Last weekend (not one just gone) there was a Steel Grey one in the showroom at Peter Cooper Portsmouth. I wasn't overly enamoured by it personally.

Saw this in the showroom when i went to collect mine after some warranty work.




Sorry the pics are a bit poop they're from my iphone!

I really like it and the pics don't do the wheels justice!!

Its exactly the same as a GTI except it has 35 logo on wheel arch, And horrible wheels,  Fail

 You'de be crazy not buying an R over one of these my 2 cents

[p3asa]

Bumper, side skirts and PSI are different. I'd imagine the inside is different as well.
I don't think the 35 is that much dearer considering you get xenons as standard
