Hi, new potential ed30 owner

(1/4) > >>

JackG:
Hi guys my names jack and I'm 21 (today!) I'm a service advisor at Volkswagen in Worcester and a professional car detailer too,
I currently drive a MK3 polo G40 that's running 171.6 bhp and I've had a 1/4 mile time of 13.1 (2nd gear  start as traction is a massive issue) I'm finding it hard to live with the G40 so Im going to buy something a little more "day to day"
I drove a mk5 golf gti dsg the other day for the 1st time couldn't really push it as I wasn't traveling far but it felt "strange" if that makes sense? Im toting between a BMW E46M3 or the ED30 insurance will be the killer on the M3 tho so the ED30 might be the choice but it's performance I like, I'd be worried About smashing the BMW tho if I'm honest! Performance wise I don't think there is much between the 2 but I think it's up to me to make my mind up! Any words to help me would be greatly appreciated!
Ps sorry for any spelling mistakes as I'm doing this of a iPhone

Glad to be here
Jack

Hi and welcome.

Hope you have a look at insurance before you buy either car.

Moschops:
Hi and Welcome along  :driver:

Hello and welcome.  :happy2:
Agree with Stealth, check out insurance first, that might just make your decision for you!  :P

The M3 I presume would cost slightly less to buy but running costs would be much higher and not the most practical as a day to day car. They are made to be driven hard, loads of fun when you do but not the best when you just want to doodle along. I thought thought long and hard about buying one but decided against it. Manual was a no-no fir me and SMG came with too many issues. But you gotta love the straight six. Beautiful noise  :laugh:

Btw, you're on a Golf forum, we love the ED30 here  :love: :grin:

Golfgirl:
Welcome Jack, I'm from the Worcester area too but use Listers in Evesham (unfortunately for you!).

Go for the Edition 30 - in your line of work it would make sense as I'm sure you would get a few favours/discounts when it comes to servicing and repairs?
