Manual Pirelli, IMO better place for your cash. Will have better residuals than either the S3 or ed30 in the future.
....Do you always give such importance to residuals when you buy a car, Dave?
I would test drive both Ed30 (or Pirelli if you find one) and S3 before deciding which suits you best.
If you don't have to lose £, then don't.
Really like the Pirelli (especially in silver..........
), and apart from trim is the same as the Ed30.
So I like it, it keeps better residuals, they are like hens teeth, therefore makes more sense to me than ED30 or S3 at the present time.
