Hi guys,
Just wondering whether anyone on here has had both cars and what one they preferred and why? Better points for each etc...
I have always loved the mk4 r32 and never driven one and currently own a ed30 so just curious.

It's modified including a loud Milltek and sounds glorious. Not being turbo'd the power delivery is quite different and I would describe it as feeling much looser. Interior feels more luxurious than the Mk5 Golfs.

still slow and heavy without mods though, and to mod is very very expensive for any decent power gain. gripped aaaaallll day long in the twisties - that said i wouldnt go back to one. the spec levels and build quality on the MK5 is simply superior :smiley:

been there done that

:laugh: great car but its a little under powered and its gagging for a turbo a supercharger bolting on :driver: dont get me wrong its no slouch and they are quick off the line and the noise is
:evilgrin:
but they are a heavy car and are comfy too but if u want noise and have fuel to burn :laugh: 7mpg if giving some stick :driver: :laugh: then go for it if but i would not sell an ed30 for one :smiley:

I owned a Mk 4 R32 before buying the Edition 30. It was highly modified - Full Milltek with sports cats, K & N Typhoon, Schrick cams, Revo map and I probably only gained 25bhp so as VC said, not much gain but lots of ££££.
I miss the noise, the handling and the traction. It handled a lot better than the Ed30 does, sticks to the road better, no wheel spin and sounded :evilgrin: It also looks nicer IMO.
Part of me regrets selling it, but part of me doesn't. The Edition 30 is superior in some ways - it's more nimble, huge power gains for not much £££ and more comfortable on long journeys.
Would I own another? Well no, because I have been there, done that. Not because I didn't like the car but just because I would want something different. I nearly replaced it with a Mk 5 R32 - had specced one up, test drove one and went into the dealers to place my order. Thought I would try the Edition 30 to satisfy myself that I didn't want one, and ended up ordering one instead of an R32. The Edition 30 won it due to tuneability, cheaper tax, cheaper to buy and the fact that I'd done the V6 thing and had never had a turbo'd car.
Running costs are cheaper on the Edition 30, but not hugely cheaper. It was getting to the point where the R32 was coming up to 5 years old and little things were starting to go wrong with it and seeing as parts aren't cheap for them I decided a newer car was necessary to have 3 years of warantied, stress free driving.
It depends what you want from the car. If you're not into modifying then you're on the wrong forum then I'd say go for the R32. It's a better package in standard form. However, if increases in power is what you want then get an Edition 30.

Did you?! What were you in? I've got a few vids of me at the Pod, you might be on one of them!

Red LCR. Was at GTI Fest IIRC, but could be wrong. Was definately you though.. :wink:
-
Tricky one... Mk4 for the looks and sound. But the mk5 chassis is a lot better.
My Mk4 was a bit special and I wish i'd never sold it but as Golfgirl says, it was getting old and little things were starting to niggle.
How can you say no to this?
