ouch what a nice problem to have  :happy2:

I've got a fully loaded gti, so for a change and for the reasons I think the ed30 would hold more value AND has more neddies then it would probably be ed30 for me, that said I do love my toys........ :scared:

When you say fully loaded?

18monza's? Well the Ed30 has 18Pescara (which imho are nicer).
Full Leather? Well the Ed30 has half leather as standard

As for anything else... I'd live without it and go for the Ed30.

Xenons are the only thing I miss on my Ed30.

It depends on what you plan to do with the car. If you are into modding it then i would go for the ED 30 every time.  :happy2:
If you are not going to do anything with the engine then its just down to which style of GTI you like.

Stretch to one with Xenons if you can.

Xenons + black Ed30 = Sex

Edition 30 all the way

+1

Ed30 all day long, I think its one of them things were you wish you had gone for it everytime you see one if you bought the GTI. Its just that little more special.

Im not putting a GTI down in anyway but for me its a limited edition making it more rare and that little bit special.

So what do you guys think of this??

thats a good price for the milage of course it would be nice to have all the added bits but most of it you can fit after xenons has been done cruise and loads of other bits. deffo go ed30 route  :jumpmove:

I'll try to arrange a test drive tomorrow on an ED30 as I have not driven one yet. :surprised:
