Hi there! - Help, can't decide between GTi or Edition 30

Prior to my ED30, I owned a standard GTI. You mention wanting the car as family transport. The ride in the ED30 seems notably harsher to me than the standard car. You really do feel every knook and cranny in the road. This is fine for me, as no kiddies. However, if you regularly carry rear seat passengers I think the standard car is the better bet. (I'm not a tech expert on the suspension of each car, somebody may come along in a minute and say suspensions are identical, just saying how it feels to me) I had 18s on the standard GTI, so a fair comparison I think.

cheers Tonker, input appreciated. I'm changing mind by the minute! Cost and availability will prevail probably

You are correct in your thinking, they are indeed identical! :happy2: Maybe the tyre pressures were out on the car you tried? I came straight out of a GTI on 18's into an Edition 30 and the only difference was the steering felt lighter due to the different tyres. :happy2:
