After about two and a half years great years with my GTI Edition 30 I've sold up and changed to an oil burner. Main reason is for better MPG as well as just fancying a change to something a bit different and a good bit newer.
I've only had it for a few days but I'm really enjoying the car so far and not finding it too far off the GTI in terms of speed. I think the higher torque figure on the vRS helps.
It's a 2012 vRS TDI with DSG, mfsw, full black leather interior, heated seats, reverse parking sensors and cruise. Hoping to add a Columbus sat nav at some point.

Cheers guys.
Planning to put a Columbus sat nav in it at some point.
Have ordered a K&N Air Filter for it. Have got one for almost all of my previous cars.

How are you finding the real life mpg figure difference. Reason i ask is 16k a year in the ED30 now, im av 30-32mpg, if i went down the vrs route i would hope for 45-48mpg to make it worth while.

Welcome to the other side! :evilgrin:

I get that going round town in a 170 scirocco, high 50's to low 60's on a run

My daily commute is 20 miles each way with a mixture of all sorts of roads. Best mpg I've had so far is 51. Average 40-50 mpg most days over the whole trip.
My Edition 30 gave me 300 miles to a tank over the same journey whilst the vRS is returning about 450-470 ish. Obviously if you do longer motorway or B road jaunts you'll get even more.
I got just over 500 miles from the tank driving home from Derby to Glasgow when I bought it a few weeks ago.
