Hi,

Fully loaded black Gti  vs Basic spec red ED30

Both on 07 plate and the same price.

Which would you get???

ouch what a nice problem to have  :happy2:

I've got a fully loaded gti, so for a change and for the reasons I think the ed30 would hold more value AND has more neddies then it would probably be ed30 for me, that said I do love my toys........ :scared:

When you say fully loaded?

18monza's? Well the Ed30 has 18Pescara (which imho are nicer).
Full Leather? Well the Ed30 has half leather as standard

As for anything else... I'd live without it and go for the Ed30.

Xenons are the only thing I miss on my Ed30.

It depends on what you plan to do with the car. If you are into modding it then i would go for the ED 30 every time.  :happy2:
If you are not going to do anything with the engine then its just down to which style of GTI you like.

Stretch to one with Xenons if you can.

Xenons + black Ed30 = Sex

Edition 30 all the way

+1

Ed30 all day long, I think its one of them things were you wish you had gone for it everytime you see one if you bought the GTI. Its just that little more special.

Im not putting a GTI down in anyway but for me its a limited edition making it more rare and that little bit special.

thats a good price for the milage of course it would be nice to have all the added bits but most of it you can fit after xenons has been done cruise and loads of other bits. deffo go ed30 route  :jumpmove:

Looks reasnoble value to be honest.

Dont forget Xennon's cant legally or cheaply be retrofitted. But there are many extras which can be retrofitted including Parking Sensors, Cruise and RNS-510 etc.

ooooohh dilema

had 2 high spec GTi's, laser Blue and Steel Grey,  and now my 3rd MK5 GTi.

Country mile, get the Ed30. although toys are nice, you can add to the Ed30 and will be more desireable later on come resale :happy2:
