Took out an edition 30.....

[Peskarik]

I bought a new, un-registered Edition 30 for much less than £19K... it's an EU import BUT full UK spec...

How much and where from? 

Motorpoint seem to have a hell of a lot of Edition 30's in stock between £19K and £20K

We have huge amount of Edition 30 cars on our main auto-webpage: www.autoscout24.ch
I see quite few Ed30 in the city, very few in fact.

First time I have drove a Mk5 (petrol model anyway) and I was very very impressed!  I loved the noise, the drive everything. I was very surprised with its performance, it was quicker than I was expecting 

Would love to get an edition 30 but don't really want to spend that much but will definitely be getting a GTI and then tweaking it, can't wait 

Just need to get rid of my BMW now ....

ED30 is fantastic in all respects, but two:

1) Crazy rattling interior. I may be whinig, but it is DAMN SHAME such a nice car has such low quality fit inside.
2) With 300 hp 1st and 2nd gear are almost useless, especially in wet.

1.Not all Golf 5's rattle, mines fine, you must have a friday afternoon build.
2. You take that chance when you try and put 300hp through a pair of front tires on a FWD car.The car wasnt built for 300 hp. Its moddified!

I agree with the second point there. I was not so much complaining as contemplating on what the next car would be like. It is obvious now that I cannot go below 300bhp  , so RWD or more likely 4x4 will be in the next car. Also, I'll try to find a car that I can mod, as it is huge fun to do. 

As for interior, you may be very lucky! God on you! Mine rattles all over though.

I have never had any rattles from my interior yet

and what does  suppose to mean?
Get over here and drive mine, you'll get my point

[T88OMM]

I suppose it is just the luck of the draw, mine has been good so far, touch wood!

So has the remap made the rattles any worse??? or does it just rattle what ever you do??

I certainly dont have any rattles from mine and everything seems to be screwed/glued together quite well.. but then the R32 does feel more planted than the Gti.
