Ed30 is up on PH for £17995 with all the mods. Im not pushed to sell but if someone wants it i'll sell as i get a car from work. Get to swap around all the time too 
. 
when you get around to the new R, give us a run down on the ride will ya?  

the R pricing is simply too steep for folks like myself. 
that said, i personally continue to have my doubts over the R, and remain biased towards a modded gti, per the lively discussions in other current threads in the forum.
