Now that is a tough decision G60 vs Rallye I mean on paper it seems obvious to keep the Rallye but an Ed1 G60! I would def keep them both, go on the game if you have to just dnt sell a rallye or a g60!

are they quick standard the G60 Rallye's?

Your using the Edtion 1 for an everday car  :shocked:

Keep them both if you can and make other sacrifices ie smoking/drinking/eating, sounds to me you've already grown attached to owning the pair of them  :grin:


Do you get tempted to use one more than the other?? Mon The Rallye to work, Tues MMm the Ed1 and so on  :laugh:

G-Werks = good call, took my G60 down there when i first bought it. They overhauled it for me. Such nice chaps and the charger has been perfect since. Honestly the G has been the most reliable car, great fuel economy, i drive it all the time, been upto scotland twice, been to wales loads of times, the only time it ever let me down was when the cable snapped for the cable change box - new cables = £120 and fitting £100. Thats the only expense out of the run of the mill running costs i have had.

The G60 seems so much sharper and the turn in is so precise, suppose the Rallye will need bushes etc to get it up to the same handling as the G60.

I think the G60 might have to go. Look at it this way i have had it for 2 years, absolutely loved it, will cry if i sell it, but i just cant justify keeping then both. The rallye is a 4wd so it will be different and new for me. Here is my G60

I think you are selling yourself short and taking the easy route out.  :sad:

I know all the bhp stats etc but just thought that they might be a bit sluggish with that heavy 4wheel drive system. do htey weigh much more to an ordinary gti?
