Are you going to make your way through the facelift versions too? 
Great write up but I was left feeling a bit unsure, using the knowledge you now have - if you were without a car, ignoring cost, which one would you go for?
No, I think I've more than had my fill of mk7's now.
It's too early in my stewardship of the ED40 to make a reasoned judgement. It still has novelty value and isn't intended as a daily driver. Having said that it would be a nice car to drive every day.
It's the "ignoring cost" bit that makes me unable to answer properly. They are all good in different ways. All have their plusses and minus points.
@brenbo, it would be great to meet up if you get chance
Glad the R novelty hasn't worn off. Yours is a pretty special example it has to be said.
@Trev after all those Golfs, all modified a little, I think I've become a bit desensitised to it all so the mere fact it makes me smile says it all. I can't offer anything scientific, just emotional.
Top speeds of any cars are academic to me.
I don't do drag races (honest officer).
The CS has a presence in the looks department and seems to handle quite well, but as I've only owned it a short time the mere fact it puts a smile on my face will have to do
Maybe I could have just written one paragraph, I get your point!!
