Classic vw oem wheel, i`m a big fan of keeping things nice and simple......... less is more.

i`ve always had the older cars and like the idea of a newer car and better base to concours

Welcome on board.  :drinking:

The Eddy is a good base from which to build upon, both with aesthetics but especially in the power department.

I think these were additional options

- Bi-Xenon headlamps includes Winter Pack I.e. Headlamp washers + heated washer jets
- Ipod prep in centre armrest
- Tinted glass from B-Pillar back
- Highline multifunction computer
- Metallic paint
- Cruise control
- Multi Function Steering wheel
- Reverse Parking Sensors
- Sound Pack  (10 speaker upgrade)
- Convenience Pack rain sensors coming home lights etc
- Storage Pack - storage compartment under the seat
- Luxury Pack - Reverse activated mirrors etc

I think that's it but if I've missed anything someone will be along to add to the list.

Drive a DSG model you will soon change your mind

Post by: Butler on May 09, 2014, 04:06:01 pm
Thought the pick up would be better especially at higher speeds... Think a mapped one would do the trick....my old mk2 golf 20v always put a smile on my face and fun to drive,I was hoping for the same with an edition....

Anyone manchester way with a mapped one....??? :driver:

Post by: warby on May 09, 2014, 04:19:28 pm
As above, drive a mapped dsg. Mine is fantastic, before it would struggle to get away from a uk spec dc2 integra now it'll piss all over it, faster than my 300hp 200sx for fun.

I would never buy a manual one. Gearbox feels like its from a Massey Fergusson.

I like my tractor.

Once it's mapped, uprated the clutch and added all the bushes/brackets for a short shifter it's awesome car the manual Eddy. Shame your not closer Butler, you'd be more than welcome to try mine.
