So..How's everyone's ED30 etc

[Manu_R32]

I think that most owners who own a normal GTI may end up colour coding anyway, not to sure why  probably because it looks better and doesnt leave the unfinished look on the car 

[phope]

some people like the colour coding, others don't

Personally, I used to prefer the black trim, but after living with the Edition 30 for nearly 3 months now, it has grown on me hugely

Well I finally picked mine up on Mon and have only just found the time to put a post on here about it.  Only covered 150 miles so far as I've been maxed out at work. However, the weekend is approaching!  Anyway, first impressions are that its a very smooth and refined car and even keeping the revs below 2500 rpm I can feel the torque and power.  It also handles a dream compared to my old MkIV GTI PD150 and pulls from much lower down the rev range, with no turbo lag. Only main fault at the moment is the upgraded sound system. The door cards can't handle the upgraded speakers so cause distortion.  I will be having words with my dealer about this.
As soon as I get the chance I will upload the photos and put them on this site. Anyway, here's to good weather this weekend.

Hully,
Complain about the distortion and then add that Dynamat is good for soaking up the unwanted vibrations and see if they put some at the back of the door cards for you (for free with a bit of persuasion!)

Thanks Hurdy, will give it a try. What exactly is Dynamat? Some kind of sound insulation?

[Hurdy]

Dynamat dampens unwanted vibrations and is used by professional and eager amateurs to keep the sound inside the car and give a purer sound from the audio system.

Got that thanks, will ask the dealer about it next week.

CIao, I once pm:d you about the sound system. So it is a problem.  Sorry to hear that. I cancelled mine, went with just RCD500.

damn, I also had to cancel the mp3 slot, because you cannot have mp3-capable cd player and a separate USB slot.  Stupid VW  , I was prepared to pay for this. Well, if they don't want my money, I will not force them to take it.

Wise decision, sent you a pm about it, sorry for the delay.
