Edition 35 or Golf R
« on: May 14, 2011, 04:46:12 pm »
Which one and why?
 - ignore price - just go with the one you like best
 - based upon the ED35 having the Golf R engine with just a lower bhp from the factory.

Golf R for me - 4wd and over 300bhp with a remap!
Just the ticket!
Waiting for them to become affordable will be a pain though
