Test drove a MkV GTI today finally

[Nickyboy]

Going to look at one tomorrow, I mentioned it earlier http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1434575.htm

The owner is a mature owner that has taken care of it, and it comes with GIAC switchable remap. 305bhp FTW

2300 is the official ( less write offs).

Still a superb car whether theres "loads" in your town or not.

They are still a rarer sight then GTi's on the road as a whole.

as you say, 3 door manuals seem to be most common available.

The car I posted has no MFSW, where are the cruise control buttons located?

If you are after a ED30 take a look at mine mate - link in sig.
I have more options then the one you linked to (MFSW, Highline, etc), lower miles, DSG........

Oh, and Im not too far away from you either mate!

I'm sure its an extra stalk under the indicator stalk.

I DID NOT SAY THE ED 3O IS NOT A GREAT CAR  what i said is they are far more popular than vw would have us believe , i do a fair few miles up and down the country every day and i see at least 2 a day , i for 1 dont believe a word vw customer services say (must be worst c/s around ) and then the ed 30 was allowed to be imported , i went to a certain retailer in derby once and there must have been 50 ed30 there at £19.995 THE ED30 IS A BRILLIANT CAR BUT NOT AS RARE AS VW LED US TO BELIEVE WHEN THE ORDER BOOK FIRST OPENED , which for me made the car more desirable back then than it is today  

[Ifti]

To be honest, I have NEVER seen another ED30 on the road while I have owned mine.
I have seen 1 pirelli - but not another ED30.
Im just outside of London, by the way.

Makes it pretty rare in my book.

It all depends on the area you live in.

No it's a toggle on the indicator switch itself.

What he said...it's on the end of the indicator stalk (left side) it also has an off/of switch too.

Nicky, sorry mate, but the car has a very low spec, hold on and try and get one with some more toy's on it.

[Nickyboy]

Too late, put a deposit down. It's fairly priced for the spec, and f*** me does it shift in 305 mode

Woo...welcome to the club....Sat Nav (RNS510) MFSW and Cruise can all be retro fitted and Xenons too if you want to go that far.

Cheers mate. Added you to MSN.

Yeah that's good news about retrofitting, though at the moment i'll be investing in stronger underpants.
