Title: Scottish Newbie E30 Coming Soon!!
Post by: Hendo on October 30, 2010, 03:10:37 pm

Hi Guys

Just ordered myself a 57 plate CW 5dr ED30 with the DSG box and will pick her up when I get home next friday.

This is the first VW I have ever owned and coming from a modded Focus ST I must pay I did enjoy the test drive of the ED30.

Hopefully you guys will be able to help me part with some hard earned cash and help me with some mods.

Anyway just wanted to say hello.

I'm from up in Aberdeen.  Did use to be a rep on Focusstoc.

Still miss the focus, this is the first VW i've ever had so can't wait and I love limited edition things can't believe I rolled up on the VW garage and bought it.  Was only going in for a look lol

Well picked up my Edition 30 last night and having driven it about for the last 1 day I must say i'm very impressed.

Quality wise it is very good, DSG is nice but taken time to get use to not using a clutch.

Missing bluetooth, DAB and keyless entry of my Focus ST & Kuga but i'm sure I can live with that.

Welcome Hendo,

I too came from Fords (Mexicos & RS2000's MK2 & MK6).
I took the plunge in August and got a GTI DSG. I took some time getting use to the DSG but I would never go back now, seems to get better and better.
Overall the Golf is a great package. Love mine!
