I wouldnt say the interior is "that" bad. Yes, I agree, the centre part of the dash is awful, but the seats are better in the Cupra than those in the GTi and Edition 30. The rest, in my opinion, is on a par.
Mechanically, the Cupra is superior to the Edition 30 as well with the bigger brake set up. It just didnt come with the DSG box option.
Pay your money and take your choice. I bought the Cupra and for the most part I am quite happy with it.
One thing I would say though is that the Cupra is better without the awful Aero bumpers though....
