How does an R32 compare to these two cars?

Cheers for the input. So basically the ko3 spools quicker but runs out of puff in the higher rev range where the eddy takes longer to spool but has more power than the ko3 in the higher rev range ?

Or I could just get a r32 because as we all know they are the quickest by far  :wink:

In two minds which gti to go for il have to have a think

Surely this comes down to your budget which is what? If you can afford a decent Edition 30 get one if not get a GTI both are good. Personally I would rather a nice GTI than a dog of an Edition 30.

I agree with above.

But surely, as the edition 30 is lower and has bigger brakes it must be able to go round the Nurburgring faster than say... A Megane Sport?

Personally given the budget I would go for an eddy.Has a more powerful turbo which can go up to 280ish BHP on a  stage 1 remap and uprated internals on the engine. The normal gti is no slouch though it can still go upto 240-250 BHP


But  make sure you get the right car from what I read while researching for the gti it can be hard to find a good quality eddy since you will need to be wary of write offs.

Whichever option you go for take your time with it and make sure YOU are 100% satisfied with what you buy. :happy2:

I have not read all of the thread but if budget would stretch I would get a Pirelli - same performance as ED30 but a genuine limited edition with greater residuals.

If cant find one get an ED30. Would prefer a K03 Gti to an R32 unless you absolutely love the soundtrack of the R32. 

The KO4 spool is by no means slow, just slower than the KO3.
