what was the decision to swop from r32 to ed30? you`ve prob already mentioned somewhere but too lazy to search.......
Yeh I've already mentioned it (so many people have asked!)....
Originally I was going for an R32 as a natural progression from what I have. The salesman asked if I'd considered the Edition 30 and I had ruled it out without looking into it thinking it would be too much of a step down from what I had. I decided on the spec of the new R32, got quotes etc. and was ready to proceed when I thought I'd look into the Ed30 just to satisfy myself that I had considered it.
On paper, performance isn't that different and running costs would be cheaper etc. I test drove both cars back to back and the Ed30 impressed me more than I thought it would. I put everything into consideration, weighed up the pros and cons and the Ed30 was the better all-rounder. Sure, I'll miss the V6 burble and the 4WD but the Ed30 ticked all the other boxes.
I also think it looks better than the R32, and has a bit more exclusivity about it. I fancy trying a bit of turbo power as well. If I don't get on with it then the R32 is always there to fall back on, but at least I can say I've tried it and won't look back in the future saying "what if".
