Gti vs ed30
« on: May 14, 2013, 10:13:56 pm »
Sorry for another vs thread but I've had a quick search and canit find the answer I'm looking for.

Anyways,
I've been looking for the right gti to pop up for sale now for month but lately I see edition 30s coming up in my budget and what I want to know is how the two car (standard gti and ed30) compare on the road. I know the eddy is up on power but is the 30horseys and tad more torque enough to make it noticeable faster over a normal gti, night and day ect?

Think I prefer the look of the normal gti but more grunt from the eddy if it is noticeable faster would be nice.

Just food for Thought really  :happy2:

Thanks

The KO4 spools more slowly so the basic GTI is better. :evilgrin:

If you plan on tuning, get the Eddy, as it will be quicker like for like. 

That said, a well setup K03 is no slouch, my S1.5 K03 can pull on my mates standard K04 S3 once rolling, much to his annoyance (5k car vs 15k car), he still won't get it tuned though. :stupid:

I've owned both albeit it a mapped eddy and stock GTI. Still own the ko3 GTI. Eddy looks better imo, engine a lot mre tunable and sounds a bit better too. I'd go for the eddy

I found the normal GTI to have nice on tap power, good for traffic, nice and nippy. The ed30 I do notice the slower spool time but the top end is monstrous.
Overtaking wise the ed30 is very noticeably quicker in my view.

Having owned both THIS ^^^^^^^^^

Loved my GTI, but always secretly wished I got an Eddy. When I did, the pride I felt driving something a little rarer was priceless for me.
The trim looks a lot better, the engine is stronger and the residuals will always be better in my opinion.
