Pay up for a Pirelli?

[oisinc]

I think you should go for the pirelli in this forum too :)

Id buy it but its a manual.. other than that it really does seem to be a great car at a great price..

Go on you know you want it.

Saying an Edition 30 is better looking than a Pirelli is ridiculous - they're visually identical bar the rear badge and wheels!

I'd personally go for the Pirelli, purely based on it's exclusivity, but not for resale value. Love the wheels too.

Err and the COMPLETETELY different interior

I meant externally. Does the interior effect how a car looks?

I'd buy an ED30. Wheels on pirelli are pretty horrible IMO

Pirelli's rarer but the Eddy looks better. I'd rather that than the chance I might get £500 more for my car in 3 years time

...........same here.Even if i didn't have my ED30 i would take a standard GTI over the Pirelli.Can't stand the seats or that horrible yellow stitching  .

Is carrera2rs's one for sale still?

Is that the one your all talking about.

Ive driven that, very well looked after car, handles very nicely with the PSS10's.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you go for a DSG pirelli you can't remap the gearbox?

Upgraded Gearbox ECU to later spec I believe.

No it's sold.

As for interior I hate the ED30 those seats are horrible.
When I first started looking at ED30's the mrs went berserk and said the seats are disgusting.

I like the darker Pirelli seats far more.

Pirelli FTW

You pays your money you takes your choice, personally I like both (inside and out), but I personally preferred the Anniversary ED30 car as I LOVE the seats, its retro and I like that, the Pirelli for me is just an afterthought on a (larger than expected) sales success.

Both good cars but finding a good Pirelli may take a lot longer due to less numbers, your best bet is probably waiting for one to come off lease in March to September next year, there will no doubt be a few around then.
