I nearly gave up looking for the right spec'd ED30, to go for a GTI with good spec in a certain colour.

Its all down to personal choice, make a list of must have's ie spec - 3/5 dr, dsg/manual, xenons, armrest, highline, then have a list of nice to have. Godd service history and condition is vital, i didnt want another silver car, but once i'd seen mine and spoken with the previous owner, it was very well looked after.

Wish I'd bought a more door, wouldn't be having for sale thoughts now!  :fighting:

Beddie, you want a silver 5dr, may have to go after my news this week  :happy2:

Yeah saw the bad news mate, gutted for you but I have my fingers crossed and I know something better will come of it for you in the end chap  :smiley:

Well I have no intention to mod it, I want a standard one and want to keep it that way

But going by the responses in this thread then I am starting to think I shouldn't compromise and go for the Edition 30

Also stuck on the DSG vs Manual, I've only driven a DSG for about 10 minutes, ideally I'd like to spend a good amount of time in one to see if the novelty wears off
