Well i bought a standard mk5 gti fully loaded, after having a type r for abit (always have amk2 gti in the garage)
and after owning the type r i felt abit let down by the golf, its wasnt much fun nice smooth power
But not very exciting, i got offered good money for it so sold it within 3 weeks,
I then couldnt decide what to buy as i loved the build quailty of the golf but with out spending alot of money on tuning it wasnt going to excite me enough, so a friend let me borrow his edition 30 dsg
I fell i love within 10 mins of driving it.....its now running 297 bhp with a stage one map!
I drove it again once it had been tuned and within a week i was in a e30 and love it to bits it really does tick all the boxes, and to get that much power from a normal mk5 would cost far more and lets face it you never get your money back when tuning, near 300 bhp Is plenty good enough
The price has come down on them but i would say its worth the extra just because it will always sell for more.
