Been thinking about chopping in my LCR and starting again with the Golf.

Anybody got any info on it? It looks pretty good and its cheaper than the K1! Dont really want to step away from SEAT but....

Does the Ed.30 have the K04 turbo (as in the S3, Mk2 Cupra, Sirocco R) ? If so it should chip pretty close to 300hp...

For some reason none of these cars appeal to me over the LCR. Maybe a 135i would be a nice choice though...

I went up against one of these on Saturday at mallory park, I can honestly say there wasn't any difference between my standard LCR and an Edition 30 with full turbo back exhaust. They do look nice in white though.

That guy is on here. I have seen it in person, sounds awsome. He is coming to the RS Tuning RR day on sat :)

I love my LCR and love modding it, but the mileage is going up and up and the family could be doing the same!

I need a bigger boot and think the mark 5 Golf would do just that plus the performance is equal if not better than the LCR.

Gonna have a read through that link

Ed if its a bigger boot your looking for there will not be much difference between your LCR and a MK5 Golf. /Not worth the cost to change car anyway.
RS4 Avant, now thats a bigger boot and WELL worth the change costs

Cant convince the misses on the Audi's. Always wanted the S4 avant but she is having none of it! We both like the Golf and the K1 but I need to check the boots out, thats gonna be the decider

VW's hold their value better than Seat's and just about everything else it seems! That's something that i'd like about owning one i imagine.

I really like the Edition 30 and i've liked every golf to be honest. MK6 is perhaps a grower, but i havent seen enough for it to do that yet.
I think the Edition 30 in white would look brilliant with the black alloys, black wing mirrors, black badge, side repeaters etc.. but im sure about a million others do aswell. lol :D

I Like the ED30 only problem was it couldn't come with leather which I've had in my last two cars so it felt like a backward step KO4s or not
