My 2013 ED35

So I traded in My Megane RS for an Edition 35 GTI....

I wanted a 135 but BMW couldnt offer me a good deal for my Meg...so wanted to give R45k less than VW and more importantly R60k less than my settlement...

So since the 2series is coming out in the next 2 years, I decided to buy the GTI until I can get a M235i :inlove:

I really miss my Meg....but Im really enjoying the ED35 so far, its quite well spec'd....Sunroof, Xenons, PDC, Bluetooth, Dynaudio RC510 touchscreen and the DSG Box....

Here's an extract on the car from IOL: (http://www.iol.co.za/motoring/cars/...n-35-worth-waiting-for-1.1235946#.UdKdTm3zvmc)

"Carrying on the GTI tradition of borrowing more power from the parts bin, the Edition 35 has the 1984cc EA113, direct-injection turbo-petrol engine from the Golf R, with a reinforced block, heavy-duty con rods and gudgeon pins with thicker walls.

The waste-gate on its intercooled turbocharger is set for maximum boost of 0.9 bar at 5500rpm, giving it 173kW (18kW more than the standard, 155kW, two-litre TSI) and 300Nm from 2200-5500rpm - good enough, says VW, for a 0-100 sprint in 6.6 seconds and a terminal velocity of 247km/h. "

lovely car. good choice while you wait for the 235i. you can never go wrong with a gti. do i sense some mods coming? vw are quite mod friendly. when i test drove the roc R the salesman asked me if i was going to mod it as most of his clients do. he said his dealership were not fussy at all.
