Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Agreed - now sell me yours  :grin:

Looks like you're in a buying mood  :laugh:

I parked up next to a mint ED 30 the other day and it brought back happy memories of mine (sold to a fellow forum member too in the end)  :evil:

would love to stretch to the Ed30, but not sure the budget can cover that. And if I'm honest, not sure it looks as nice as the standard, but that's just me.

Btw, that white Mk6 in Autotrader - love it. Shame I need 5 doors. White definitely the best colour for Mk V or Mk VI in my view. This may be because my first every car was white, altho they do seem really popular now.

I guess looks are subjective  :rolleyes:

I much prefer the colour coded side sills / bumpers etc of the Ed 30, particularly in Candy White.  I never liked the black lower edges on the standard the GTi.   The wheels can be changed too  :smiley:

As to price - I'd gve thought £9,500 - £10,000 would get you a nice 2007 manual ED 30 ?

See I'm the opposite, I prefer the more subtle look of the standard Mk5 GTI.  :undecided:

Changed my mind on the R32, I'd go for an ED30 as a remap turns it into monster.....

I'm still with PenguinGTi on this one, although that white Ed30 is very tasty!

If it were me in your shoes,  I'd go for a Mk V GTi Edition 30

Great car, great handling and plenty of punch with 230bhp (standard);    or  280+ bhp (remapped Stage 1) if you're that way inclined. 

Should hold it's value well too if you look after it  :smiley: 
............i did & it's the best thing i ever did. Ed 30 all the way. :cool:

if your on a budget, as has been said, a good spec, good condition Edition30 in either transmission is the best VFM. :smiley:
