Ed30 would be my choice, R32 is awesome but fuel costs keep going up and up.

I am also having the same debate with myself between the two cars. I currently have a 2008 Polo GTI 9n3 and am looking to change in the summer.

I cannot make my mind up between a ED30 or an R32. The only considerable factor in it is the fuel cost in my mind.

I know that a remap on the R32 will only give it 5 - 10BHP but can a remap also give it better fuel efficiency if your at lower revs and just want to be kind and loving to it?

Had 2 mk5 gti's, driven a couple R32's, found an edition 30, love it, and won't change it for love no money... Find a good eddy, and keep hold of it.

Well how ever much i would love an R32 i do not think i can justify the fuel and tax costs. I am now thinking of adding a gt tdi 170bhp to the mix with the GTI and Ed30.
So if anyone has any thoughts, opinions and experiences that would be great.
On another note would it be wrong to mod an ED30?

Looks like a cracker! Get on the blower to the seller - if it's not gone (ad is a few days old) go see it!  :smiley:
Just found the perfect GTi...
