My Edition 35 <3

[detritus]

Hey man, car looks awsome. Not a fan of red but that looks the nuts!

Not to take anything away from your purchase, but I don't like the wheels (although I've only ever seen them in pics). Theres a similar style on RS3/TTRS etc and they look great in the metal. Wheels are all down to personal preference, if you like them then that's all that matters.

Enjoy the car mate, very rare.

Couldnt justify an R as absolutely awesome as they R (get it)

Petrol would kill me the amount of miles i do at the weekend.   im feeling the difference in MPG already

As for the wheel comments I know what you mean but like with everyone each there own i suppose!  

So you're saying that the difference in fuel consumption between an 'R' and an ED35 would kill you??

It's only 1.7mpg different?? 

Thats £90 for every 10,000 miles!!

£90 i dont have after spending out 5G deposit for this new badboy lol

That looks fabulous; was seriously considering getting one myself but can't decide whether to get an R or an ED35. Even though I love my carbon grey the tornado red looks gorgeous.
Enjoy. 

I'm in exactly the same boat as you - pre registered ED35 or a 1yr old R........hmmmmmmmm 

Yes indeed smiffy; £33K for a new ED35 or £38K for a new R [both with my spec] or about £32K for a 12 month old R with similar spec and about 8k miles on the clock.
What do you get with the R? 31PS more and 4WD, is it worth it? You tell me. Alternatively [and I've been looking at this] a Porsche 911 [997] Carrera 4S about 5 or 6 years old with low mileage for about £40K. Only problem with the Porsche is that running costs are greatly increased.

It's a tough choice. I'd go for the 1 year old R or the 5/6 year old 997 Carrera 4S as the 4WD means they'll put the power down better on the damp UK roads. Also, means they're practical in snowy conditions.

Would you be interested in a 2 year old R with 28K on the clock? I know one potentially coming up for sale soon.

No thanks smiffy, too much mileage and would want one a bit newer anyway. I'd be very particular about the spec too, so it may take me a while to find what I'm after.

RickS - it wasn't me that offered you the 'R' - it was SilverChariot!

Yeah... scrub that... it won't be for sale. I'm keeping it and going to visit Awesome GTI!

Back to admiring that Edition 35!

A very good shout 

Just drove past an R in Rising blue. It is a seriously good looking car. If the Mk7 wasn't so close I'd be very tempted by an R when it comes time to change the GTI.

Mate, i think your car looks mint! If I hadnt been so impatient I wanted a Red 3dr with the 19"s so i think you've made a great choice. Welcome to the 35 club! Perhaps we should have our section - haha!

[kane1210]

Thanks guys I literally love it just drove up to central londOn to see shrek and had a few headturns on the way.

Welcome and really like your car....i'm just waiting for my black 3 door ed35 to arrive...I'm trading in a 3 door red GTI.  Any chance of a few photo's of the inside of the ED35....
