ED35 available to order

[Poverty]

Sell two and get a GT3.

You will be able to get a RS3 next year for 35k 

[MAT ED30]

Silly ??? Gt3 all day long

[tony_danza]

That's a lot of money for a Golf.

The one I saw at Inters was nice, I'd be given one in a heartbeat. But I've just been reasonably conservative with the config and spent £33,000.

No, no and no.

I have been thinking off buying one off the ED35 s   , 3 door  with dsg and nav in either steel grey or carbon grey with multi function sw and xenons plus the 19" wheels list price is £32,100 , I have a Mercedes c250 sport auto on a 2009 59 plate similar spec to the 35,

I have been waiting for the ed35 and now its available i am a little dissapointed ,my other issue is my wife as tken to driving the merc most days ,she has a BMW E92 325D Coupe with huge spec ,Now she says just have what you like ,The BMW hasnt been used for 6 wks it is proper lovely .

I nearly forgot we have a ED30 in TRed 3dr dsg,nav,xenons,mfsw ,S3 brakes f+r  ,17k miles 2008 on a 08 mint,

what car to let go ????????????????????.Merc doesnt do it for me so M goes


I also have a company vehicle  a Land rover defender,That is one off the reasons three cars are available to my wife to use daily .

my last train off thought was sell two and buy a Porsche gt3  secondhand approx 12/18 mths old ..

My Ed35 spec "only" came out at £32334, but this was with a manual box.

Is the DSG much better to have over the manual given the extra cost both to spec and service over the years?

The dealer would probably only give me £12334 for my Ed30 in px leaving £20k to finance!

The issue is I owe a chunk of dough on my Aston, so do I borrow even more, or sell both my cars and get an Ed35 and have cash in pocket or status quo?!

Would be surprised if the dealer offered £12334 for the Ed.

I'd sell both and get an rs3 as I hate borrowing tbh. Each to their own. It I don't think you'd be disappointed running the rs3 as a daily ;)

Agree with Jay on this one wholeheartedly - before I forget, did you enjoy Marrakech ? Good holiday?

It's difficult to claim something costing over £30k can represent good value for money, but I specced a 3-door up and it came to £34,515. That was in shadow blue with the Glendale alloys and almost every extra you can have.

they need to sack the designers at VW i think.  

the mk5 looked OK much improved over the mk4, with a full redesign. Then they went lazy; ed30  very minor changes.  the mk6 had a little tweaking, the ed35 even smaller changes.  thats alot of money for a car that looks just like all the other golfs.

If you spending 30k+ buy the Golf R, at least that looks different, plus you get AWD, and more power, a better intercooler and better brakes.

A guy at the shark performance open day made a good point i think. 

Buy a 5dr golf if you need space, but if you dont why buy a 3 door Golf!!!!!  get a scirocco instead.

Stick with both your cars, the Ed35 is not worth an extra 18-20k. Or sell both cars and buy the new M5 F10.

Just comes down to visual preference I guess, plus a touch more practicality on the Golf's side. I don't much like the look of the Scirocco, but love it in R guise. An Edition 35 or a Scirocco R? It would be the R every time.

I totally forgot about the ED35 reading this im now more interested in what you do for a living...


The ED35 doesnt look special enough to hold a basic £30k price tag. Id let the wife choose which car she wants as the daily and chop the others in for a GT3.
