It had to happen sooner or later

Didn’t know they did diesels at Maserati. The torque figures look impressive :driver:

OMG that Mazzer is gorgeous :love: Epic shout Josh :happy2: Question is, can one stomach Italian flakiness and quirkiness :grin: Keep the ideas coming peeps, there's a lot of cars I hadn't considered. It's always the usual German sausage standard issue stuff when I think of performance cars.
This is the reason I want diesel. Filled up the old 2.0 TDI MK6 yesterday, did 90 odd miles and it still shows over 600 miles left, bonkers :surprised: If I do a few full throttle squirts in the ED30, the fuel needle drops down a couple of notches :grin:
The craziest thing about the TDI is it will pull itself along in 5th gear at 1200rpm, foot off the clutch. Mental. The ED30 literally does eff all below 2500rpm :grin:

I would love to start over with a mint 30K DSG ED30....but too thirsty for a 400 mile a week commute, sadly. I had designs on a mint MK6 R, always loved the look of those things but new job, miles away, can't do it :ashamed:

One of the lads at work commutes from Durham to Leeds occasionally and gets 55mpg. It usually hovers around 46mpg as he drives it like a bit of a loon.
The torque on them is incredible.

That pretty much is what I've got my heart set on but I'm open to other options. I've seen a couple of YouTube videos where a M140i couldn't get past a 335d until 100ish mph, but the 335d looks so plain and dull....what a sleeper!
I know I've bashed on the Eddy a lot lately, but I've had it 8 years and bonded with it in a love hate kind of way, so I will actually be sad to see it go. I don't have the space or time to restore it :ashamed:

Sorry to hear you have had some drama with the Edition 30.
At 400 miles a week would you consider EV? I’ve never looked at them but is there a cost payoff?
