I must be easy pleased as love the car. The only thing I would like is more power

+1, that is why I am going for the ED35. I always felt my ED30 was more fun and its down to the engine charateristic and power delivery.
Did you find it had that extra bit of poke ?
I’m going to order later in the year which just now looks like the Scirocco R. Would love the mark7 GTI but December will be the cut off date for ordering. Don’t want to lose too much on the GTI by holding onto it longer than necessary.
The Golf is a great practical car . however now it’s just me and the wife a Scirocco would be fine

Sorry guys, but can you re-read the post, it wasnt titled ED35 / ed30  power  and poke scirocco mk 7 cutoff dates,
no offence ment but stay to the topic or start a new one, its irritating which is applicable to this post almost  :wink:

:grin: not sure about this but the rear view mirror is so very very straight edge rectangular,
rather than nice and curvaceous  :rolleyes:

ditto on the foglight covers/caps in the wheelarches goin missing penguinGTI, the salesman (when i pointed this out to him) assured me
there wasnt ment to be any covers in there and they where all like that UNTILL i said why has this GTI next to it not got any holes there and clearly has caps ? maybe only white ones have the caps  :grin: he was suitably embarrased  :smug:

I've given up in replacing my fog light covers as they constantly wander off looking for a new home    :wink::wink::wink:

Yes the engine really does pull stronger and harder to the red line, the older EA113 (I think that is right) used in ED's and R's is just more fun. I would go for the Scirocco R if I didnt need the practicality of the Golf as I have a family. I have driven Golf R and Scirocco R both lovely but I prefer the front drive set up so my choice is ED35. If I had a Golf R I would have to tune it to 300+

Oops sorry Pottinger  :wink:

The sterring column shroud plastic is  :sick: and marks from trying to get the key in the ignition so so so easily.


Hold the tip of your index finger just past the tip of the key blade when you are fumbling around trying to find the slot.

It's a good job Asker isn't here anymore, as I'm sure he'd have a predictable comment about my slot finding procedure.

Put some hair round it…… should then have no problem finding the slot  :smiley:

Am I missing sarcasm here?

How do you change the bulbs?

Another thing that irritates me, whenever I change the temperature to either "lo" or "hi" on the temperature the car suddenly panics and thinks there is a lack of oxygen and so blasts the fan up to full whack.... silly car  :grin:
