Originally i was looking at R32's and S3's, but after speaking to a couple of gents off a local vw forum they suggested the Edition 30 Golf. Never considered it before but started to have a look around and liked what i saw.
I got this about three weeks ago and am really chuffed with it. I had to go to Cardiff to get it - bus, train, plane etc to get down. Left the house 9 am and didnt get back till 3.30am the next morning ( I live in Aberdeen ). Was an enjoyable trip back though. Thanks to Chris Teague (off here) for picking me up from the Airport and ferrying me about.
Chris already had added some extremely tatseful mods such as remap and bigger brakes so ticked the boxes for me
The MPG is on par with the Leon i had, which the R32 would never get near.
Comes with Sat Nav, MFSW, Winter Pack blah, blah
Didnt take long to start fettling with it, treated it to some VW racing springs and and panel filter.
Shout out to the guys at VW Racing, very helpful, willing to do a deal and super fast delivery. The ride has sufficiently stiffened up and the height is as exactly as i wanted it, for the shizzle roads around here.
Next up probably an Anti lift Kit as its a bit lively through the front wheels, exhaust and RNS 510. Oh and 10mm spacers for the rear
Some iphone pics until i get it properly cleaned and find my camera
Cheers
Steve
