edition 30 vs R32

[illyun]

Only in it for the snob value then not the better car?

Well almost - the fuel saving is substantial over a year 

Oh sorry, I forget the not inconsiderable fact that you can add another 70+bhp for around £500 with a simple remap... the R32 can't do that so you R32's out there can my Ed30's rear hatch goodbye as you see it accelerating into the distance

I take all my words back... that R32 looks and sounds awesome and is quick to boot too...    So tempted to get another.

We all defend our main reason for buying it.....that's why we chose it!

But that's my point, why be so defensive?

I'm not.  I have owned 4 Mk5's - a standard manual GTI, a DSG R32, a manual Ed30 and now a DSG Ed30 and out of them all the R32 felt really special... its that V6 magic 

But I also sure that when I've spent a bit of money remapping the Ed30 and doing some other bits and pieces to it, it will be a bit of a monster

That's what I am trying to get across..people will be naturally defensive in favour of the car they have...because they chose it (for whatever reason) over another model. Most reasons are subjective and open to any amount of debate and will still not convince either side of a discussion that their view is wrong. Even definitive proof is not enough....for some R32 drivers

Im not defensive or shy I got mine because it was cheaper than the GTi/ED30

Ahh, I see.

You bought it because you couldn't afford the GTI/ED30

You bought it because you couldn't afford the GTI/ED30

Or you could say.. I wasnt willing to pay more for a inferior car

They would have to catch me first, but they would have caught you first as you are in an R32
