celica:
great read. i like the honest opinions and not biased towards one side.

having only just thought the mk5 may fit the bill for what i'm after (currently have an audi tt 225 model)

wanting something with a bit more rear passenger space and from what i have read, summaries to:
gti - cheapest to buy, and having read around a remap would see a nice 230-240bhp being more realistic and useable

ed30 - still expensive due to limited edition like all golfs. temptation would be to remap as well, but taking the power over the capabilities of the standard setup of front wheel grip etc

r32 - v6 sound, smooth, more of a cruiser, adequate performance with grip

i like mine for the turbo punch, but turbo tuning can get addictive and the quattro i assume works wonder as i don't think about grip as it grips, compared to my previous high revving celica vvtli i had (which was fun)

it's deffo a hard choice. wish mine had more space

neg:
celica,  the 2.0T is so much smoother even when remapped than the 1.8T is, you still feel the turbo but just not as .. how to put it ..  vicious

Rob, you've had plenty of GTI's so maybe an Ed30/Pirelli model might be the next step but like others have said - they are effectively the same car, one just having slightly more power if you need it - dont you fancy something different, was that your 2nd or 3rd GTI?

RobMKV:
True Neg im not sure an ED30 would be that much of a change plus i would always add the exterior bits on
as i'd miss how my current GTi looks,

Maybe an R32 then theres nothing else i like  :confused:

neg:
I though the same, I dont see it being worth the £5k it would probably cost me to change for what would be the same car but maybe less features (mine having all the options too)...

I reckon I will keep hold of mine now as I cant see what I could replace it with just yet.  Maybe eventually pass it onto the Mrs and get a mk6 GTI even.. who know.
