Should I Shouldn't I
« on: November 12, 2009, 09:14:28 pm »
Hi. Got my eye on an ED30 at my local showroom.Thinking is it really worth that extra 4k to swap. I have an 06 plate GTI manual with 40k miles.The ED30 Is 07 plate DSG with 24k.Would I notice that much difference?

If you have the cash, go for it.

Obviously check it out thoroughly. No point spending £4k on the switch and then having to pay extra for extra work.

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

The 'cost to change' figure sounds pretty good.
Depends what your plans are for the car and how you currently drive yours. If you're looking to remap then it's go to be a good idea.

The standard GTI 'feels' quicker / more responsive under normal to modederate driving conditions - could be argued 'deceptively quicker'. Obviously, it's not quicker, as we all know.
Most motoring journo's prefered the feel of the standard GTI for this reason IIRC, despite the Ed30 being the slightly stronger performer.

As said, depends on your plans for the Ed30 and driving style.

If nothing else to get a newer car, one that is rarer and will hedge against the depreciation a lot better than the std GTI.  Plus a K04 GTI would be much mre fun if you do ANY power mods to it.
