This just in -  Top Gear not too impressed with Ed-30.
They think the wheels aren't a patch on the Monzas.
They're sooooo right.

Is that TopGear magazine or the programme?

They think the wheels aren't a patch on the Monzas

Are they saying that it is JUST the alloys they aren't happy with or is there more to it.

Don't tell half a story

Let's have the rest of the details.

IMO the ED30 alloys are passable but if I were marking out of 10 it would be a 6 and a "must try harder!" as they aren't special enough

I think the reason the Ed30 wheels are disliked is because of the central hub of the wheel - it's huge, and virtuall covers the brake disc and red calipers, whereas on the Monza IIs the holes go right up to the bolt holes, and you can see all the disc and caliper.  Just my HO anyway!

Hurdy - it's the magazine.

I'll try and dig the piece out later.

Pescaras aren't a patch on the 18" Monzas?  Tell us something we don't know...

The stig in the Top Gear magazine didn't like the ESP/ABS on the edition 30 much. 

I wonder if the reason behind why the Stig thought the standard GTI was more balanced than the ED 30 was that he was using the car on the limit and the extra 30bhp and resulting extra speed means that the driving aids come in a lot more and spoil his fun?

How can a car with 30bhp extra and all the same chassis and brake addenda not be better?

Fingers crossed, the ed 30 gets a review later this series on top Gear, be interesting to see what they recon if the Standard GTI Is a better or worse choice when buying new, testing the chassis with the extra power, whether the brakes are up to coping with the xtra power,whether it understears like a pig and cant cope as well with 230hp and 200 is a better balance. As like most mags are saying about hot hatches, its not the xtra hp wins the day, its whether the car is capable in handling it,and laying it on the road. i wait with hopeful anticipation
