Title: Looking at getting an Edition 30
Post by: KieranM on February 19, 2015, 10:29:37 pm
H, I'm looking at moving to an edition 30 from a Mini Cooper s, the only problem is I have never driven one and there isn't any for sale up near me so I can't get a chance to test drive one. How do the Edition30s handle? I'm not expecting it to handle anything like the mini but can you still through them about on a back road without any issues?

I've not got an E30, but I do have a standard GTI and a standard Mini Cooper, the GTI handles better than the Mini ;)

They handle great with good tyres on, I would say better than my cooper works I had.. Where do you live?

Me and you have to many things in common... I agree! I also had a Mini Cooper jcw lowered aswell. Handling round town was mega but as soon as I got on back roads it felt abit loose compared to the Pirelli. The eddy is a quality car, got mine getting dropped today on some eibachs and looking forward to have a back road drive!
