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.
