Edition 35 pondering
« on: 16 November 2015, 18:28 »
I been thinking about trading my 09 gti in for this edition 35. Is very low mileage & remapped to stage 2.

Is a beautiful car & pretty much exactly the same look wise as mine with different wheels.
Only thing that bothers me is I think the clutch will probably start slipping?

Do you guys think its worth it or save for when the mk8 comes out :evil:

I've seen this one advertised as well! Didn't know much about the edition 35 when I bought my 11 plate gti. Both that and the R were out of my price range. Personally I would rather have the R to get the power down. Saving my magic beans for a mk7 R in a couple of years when prices come down..

Have you modified yours at all? Mine is stage 2 and I'm loving it. Way more exiting than stock.

Hi eug2huge, I have remapped mine stage 1 but no further with it accept new race clutch after it started slipping that is what worries me with this ed 35 it is stage 2 & could start slipping after a while.
Obviously you wouldnt get that issue with the mk7 R. The new R's are lovely cars ive been pondering over a manual R too lol.

I think at that price a MK7 PP GTI would be best, basically buying the same car again just with the older EA113 based engine.

Yes I agree, old tech. Better the car you know as well.

GTI MK7 is highly tuneable. Not sure I'd get another GTI though, would have to be the R!!

I think he's talking about the one in the first post, it £21,488!

Surely the mileage can't be right as well!? 2133 miles...
