Exact same spec I'm interested in too, its just the price I've got to sort out now.......

Broadspeed are quoting about £600 odd of list for similar spec.

They are growing on me, i may end up just buying one as soon as they hit the showrooms as there are always dealers that will sell them. The only thing thats niggling me is i had a ed30 before and its almost exactly the same car/ the same feel to it i presume.

Report on Youtube didn't exactly do the car any favours, you may as well just get an ordinary GTI and map it, cheaper and better too possibly.

Depends on the spec really Amanda. If you're after a GTI with leather, bi-xenons and 18s the ED35 actually comes out a few hundred cheaper. When you throw in the little extra bits of trim you get with the ED it makes it a no brainer really as its resale will probably be a lot better.

If I was the market for a new car then it would be the ED35 , shall wait for ED40

No, really? You're coming back from the dark side? We'll have to wait another 5 years for your grand entrance.

It was purely down to VW waiting list, I took the Tig and with no regrets, but I could have stretched to 30k for ed35 and its a top motor I have to say. My old ed30 I still miss the poke on that

Takes a bit of work but you can get several k off prices no matter what dealers say.
My local one said no discounts for our gti but ended up with a good couple of k off in 2010 (but had to wait ages for the car).

Basically I went away called lots of car brokers for the lowest price then called around all the dealers in my area to see who would beat the lowest price. The no discount dealers soon knocked off cash. Don't think you have to be loyal to your local dealer as they won't do you any favours re low price.

I've just bought a new tiguan to complement the golf (delivery times on Tiguans are also about 6 months grrr!). My local dealer would only knock 1k off and asked me to come back if I got a lower price to give them last say- I ended up going to another vw dealer just out of the local area got almost 4 grand knocked off the price. Was funny as  when I went back to my local dealer with the lowest price, they said "i'm not going to get caught up in a dutch auction" and had a right cob on as I went to the other dealer, yeah right as if I'm going to spend a couple of k extra on the price just because they are my local dealer!  - lol

Ok Andy point taken, I forgot the ED35 comes with leather? as standard.  Totally hate those wheels though (Glendale?), what is it with VW that some of their wheel styles are such sh1t lookers.
