Golf mkV GTi thoughts?

[macky17]

I own an edition 30 so not exactly the same but it's probably the best dd I've owned. Could I have one as an only car? Modded possibly but then I've been spoilt. But as a daily with something else for the weekend it's the best of all worlds. Handling is very very good - no not renaultsport good but then a cup Megane wouldn't work for my needs. Nicely finished, quick enough and looks good. They are prone to annoying electrical failures, etc, but most (compressor, abs system, door locks) can be fixed for a fraction of dealership prices if you know whom to ask...

I find 98 Ron fuel makes a notable and immediate difference over 95 but maybe that's because it's an ed30.

Ditto, my ED30 is also my daily. It's now on 88K and the only electrical problem it's had is a blown indicator on the passenger side door mirror, but £20 and 10 mins sorted that.
