Edition 30 worth the premium?
« on: April 17, 2013, 07:21:37 pm »
So I originally thought I wanted to get an Edition 30, I'm starting to wonder if it is worth paying the extra premium?

It seems the Edition 30 is going to cost me 2-3k extra with similar miles to a standard GTi

I've not actually driven an Edition 30 yet so that might change my mind

answer is yes, if you plan to mod that 2/3K is well worth it when you walking away from RS4's

IMO depends if you want to mod. If staying standard then get the gti as its IMO much better as a town/quick 0-60 car with 3k in your pocket.

If you want more power than the standard car offers then get the edition 30 as a £300 remap on a edition 30 = about £3k worth of mods on a gti.

When you compare a 2008 GTI and 2008 GTI Edition 30, with similar mileage and spec what's the price difference?

Why is this even a question?  :laugh:

Definitely worth it, wouldn't change my Ed30 for anything! (for now)

Depends on whether you're happy with the GTI and what you're after. It might be better to go for say a high spec GTI than a poverty spec ED30.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
