AHG Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Should have been, in a special edition. But then it would’ve cost even more. Is it in the ED45 CS GTI I ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHG Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 But owners seem to love it dearly (and evo are far from objective at this point :-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo are renowned for their sketchy and inconsistent reviews (take the 8R for example); and owners views will tell a different story. I just used that link to show mpv the car, rather than anything else. Could have easily posted any other review but that evo one had good pics of the Ed45.

They’ve never been that positive about the Golf other than when the MK7 first appeared. There was praise for the MK5 GTI but most VAG stuff is usual mainstream gripes. They tend to be either big Renault fanboys over many years or Honda in the hot hatch sector. Renault do nothing for me other than big electrical bills in the garage !! Honda I have time for except corrosion on early cars. Dannybear83, Scudgie and Booth11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Rensult Clio once (the shame 🤣) and the electrics on it were a disaster. Every rtime it rained the car would go into limp home mode - embarrassing!! Took 2 years to identify the fault - a metal box fitted to the back of the rocker cover designed to enclose and protect the wiring loom. It did exactly the opposite. Will never buy a French car again Msportman and mpv 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
