This is a video I should have made a long time ago!
In it I explain why the Mk5 Golf GTI is my favorite GTI, what the differences are between the standard car and the Edition 30 & whether I prefer it and how to buy yourself a good one, all in 29 mins!
There will inevitably be things I've left out as I see 30 mins as an absolute maximum for videos so apologies for that but hopefully it will be worth investing 30 mins of your time. There were changes throughout the production of the Mk5 Golf GTI so these cars will not be representative of the whole of the production run, for example some 200 PS GTI's do have GTI on the sill covers - we think this was part of some changes that came in 2006/2007 that include silver buttons on the RCD 300 & 500 head units, the change to the BWA coded engine (with a slightly less boomy exhaust I think) and deletion of a trim piece around the rear windows on 3 door cars amongst other things.
Keep a look out for future issues of Modern Classics Magazine as an Edition 30 feature is imminent
This video took the best part of a day to film, some road test footage had to be binned after numerous takes in the red GTI as I didn't fancy taking the Edition 30 down the narrower test route I often I use so the footage was filmed on a wider road with less risk of meeting drivers on the wrong side of the road. The site where I work can get quite busy so I have to choose my times carefully, plus the weather was variable hence why the intro and Edition 30 drive was filmed at dusk. I don't have any assistance when filming so no drive-by or car-to-car shots are possible, hopefully the information within this video makes up for the lack of tinsel!
