All I know is your "Not to confuse it with Sodoku or Sudeki" but it's as equally puzzling!

Hi Everyone

I know this is a Mk5 forum but I'm after some advice.

We've just got a Mk5 DSG Gti for my wife and I absolutely love it.

It's our first VW GTi (I don't class my old mk4 130 GT-TDI anywhere close) and it's fantastic.

I've got a current gen MINI Clubman Cooper SD and I can swap it next Feb, so I'm starting to think about what next.

I can spend up to about £20k but that doesn't mean I want to - unless there is good reason.

I generally don't buy cars at the bottom end of offerings as want lowish miles and good condition etc.

The choice seems to be

Mk5 Gti for c.£8k
MK6 Gti for c.£12k
ED30/Pirelli Mk5 for c.£12k
MK6 ED35 for c.£20k
S3 Sportback Stronic for c.£20k
PCP a Mk7 GTi with Performance Pack c£stupid money.

I've test driven an ED35 a while ago and loved it (not remapped) but it felt similar to our new GTi just with a bit nicer trim and a little bit quicker.

Never driven an S3 but have owned an A4 Avant S-Line 140tdi previously and got bored quickly as it was a bit too efficient at everything!

So - thoughts from those who have driven some of these please.

Is the S3 really the top of the tree and worth the extra outlay or would I be better going ED30/Pirelli as I love our Mk5 so much?

Does the Mk6/S3 really drive any different and is the mk7 a game changer again??

I'd only want a DSG model of any of the above BTW.

Help!

Back onto the original question...  

Mate other than the DSG what's the criteria for your car? Number of doors/number of seats/fuel economy etc?
If your budget is up to 20k, there are lots more other cars to consider depending on the criteria (if any!)
3.0ltr S4/Boxter S/Cayman/M3/ Jag XFR/S5/Merc CL500/TTS etc etc
