What would you replace your Edition 30 with?

[George]

Hi all,

If you were looking to upgrade from your Edition 30 with a 15-20k budget what would you choose?

I think there are two paths, either

Golf R (when prices drop), Audi S3, Focus RS

or

Mitsubishi Evo / Subaru Impreza STI & a daily sensible car

What would you do?

[Beddie]

I'm leaning towards a nicely specced mk6 gti to replace mine when the time comes 

[Mk5 GTian]

If I had that sort of budget it would be a remapped Golf R or a Focus RS MP350 Mountune. I drove the Ford, it was hilarious. I was grinning for hours afterwards.

This will be my last  fast bus. If I had to sell, it would be both the Hyundai i10 and ed30 trade up for some hi spec family all rounder like a VW Tiguan with DSG or the Hyundai ix35 tourer

[Shorty]

Could you go to a K03 engine after owning a Edition 30 though?

Wish I could afford an Edition 30! But probably an R if I had to choose as I see it as the best of a GTI and an R32 combined - that's just me and my brand loyalty I suspect!

Would sell body parts for a tuned 2.5tfsi however, now a family man I'm lucky to still have my tuned Cupra

I was always happy with the performance of my K03s MKV GTi when at stage 1 and likewise with a MK6 GTi with the IHI turbo that I had a blast in, so yeah I could go back as it were  
To be honest I very rarely use the extra legs that the K04 gives at the top end other than on track so don't think i'd feel I was missing out too often..

2 pay rises next year for what they're worth so hopefully things will pick up.

Ooh ur parts manager give you the word?

Nothing a decat and stage 2 wouldn't sort out. ~270-280, and less laggy than ko4.

Personally I'm gonna keep the ed30 for as long as I can because I can't afford anything better. :-) I don't suppose it's a bad car to be 'stuck' with.

[E30Dom]

There is really nothing I'd swap mine for at the minute... The performance, 31mpg, 5 doors, cheap to service, comfort, the sound... you woul dhave to go £20+k to get anywhere close...

Yeah a lightly modded 'regular' GTi is still a cracking drive and more than ample for UK roads imo 

I'm sort of in the same place as you with my '30 but after nearly 4 years I'm struggling to shake the new car itch, fancying a Mk6 gti with a couple of choice mods as there's some great choice out there in the £16k bracket..

i went for the FRS after my Gti George and a year on im still loving it,  recently had the mp350 and exhaust and the sound is        only slight minus points are the mpg and the ride is a little more harsh due to the 19`s

Stage 2 will sort that one out (for a few weeks at least)
