I am sure it is...

For me I like my GTI on 19" with no acc and the tyres over inflated  :evil:

You frighten me sometimes. :laugh:

What is clear, for me at least, is that ACC is a must have and valuable option.
And because that's what you think, everyone else has to agree?

Your understanding of syntax needs improving.

I keep checking mine is working! :grin:

I'm going to stick my 4 penn'orth into the 19 inch argument (oo er missus). I've been in Gilly's GTi with the 19s and I thought it was bloody marvelous. Admittedly, the Revo helped put a smile on my face but the ride was fine and I can assure you the roads of Leeds aren't great.
I test drove a VRX Astra on 19s before I bought my GTi and that was a lot firmer but I still didn't think it was that bad and could certainly have lived with it.

Mr. Kane, Sa!

I would not put so much faith in the Golf's suspension shod with 19" wheels on our broken British tarmac. ACC is a small price to pay for the excellent flexibility it provides. Do try before you finally buy if you can. But as is always, ETTO.

Your colour choice is most commendable. The Red brigade will welcome your Ed35 with open arms. Additionally, I'm glad you chose Dynaudio, which is excellent value for money.

All the best and hope you don't have too long a wait.
