Thanks much appreciated
Your a very greedy boy Bry!
More importantly, how does the RS compare with the Eddy?
Unfortunately the RS is away now, due to an unforeseen expensive roof repair
I was going to keep it and just sleep in it with the family but my misses was having none of it, so away it went !
Being a vw fan boy it pains me to say it buy it didn't really compare to the edition 30, it was better than it in nearly every way.
The handling on the RS was amazing it just dug in and gripped whether it was wet or Dry !
Decent brakes ( although I don't think they hold up too well on track days )
The noise is just the best, pops, bangs, amazing sound, beats The M3s I've had in that respect which is quite impressive as I loved the straight 6!
Room wise and practicality beats the golf too, the boot is massive and I found it Easyer to get the little one in the back,
Which was a surprise due to the recaro seats.
Power wise it was great it just surged along on its low down torque and tbh I could of quite happily owned this as a standard car, which is mad considering its tuning potential
Build quality and materials were spot on aswell
BUT
The fuel consumption on it was pretty bad I averaged 23 mpg in my year of ownership and a big disappointment on the car for me was the finish, I really think time wont be kind to this car, all the rivets on my inner bumper went rusty. When I was cleaning it with the wheels off i notice that the inner arches, during spraying at the factory acquired some paint bubbles anyway when you pop these bubbles it reveals bare metal
I also heard some creaking from the rear end and traced it to the rear light, so I took the light off to check it out and when I removed the light I found out that the creaking was due to the plastic rubbing off the paint work, so much so that again it went to the bare metal !!!!!
On top of all of that the most worrying thing was that on 6 Points on my car the seam sealer had cracked, at the end of the day when water gets between the seams the car is going to rust from the inside out, because of this I'm not to sure how time will fair on these cars !
Would I buy one again ? Yes 100% and I will, although this time it willl be running along with my eddy, ive had 3 of these now so ive realised there is something about the car that keeps bringing me back, so this one is stopping with me for good !
