Prefer GTD wheels (not by much) -
Me too prefer the GTD wheels out of all seenIt'll cost equivalent of £80 a month more for a GTI on my mileage -
Mine is more with the lease + BIK and mileageDon't care it doesn't have a red stripe on the grille -
Do not actually like the red through lights but if it was just grill I would love the Iconic nature.Don't care it has split exhaust - Me neither! -
Chromed twin exhausts look greatPrefer tartan seats without red accents -
Prefer the lack of red in interior too, think it blends as classy but understated perfectlyDon't care about red stitching on gearstick, steering wheel and maybe seats -
Same as aboveOtherwise it is the same car with same equipment -
Honestly prefer the GTD styling inside and out, the only loss is not being able to say GTI to anyone given how that name alone carries such esteem Driving a 170 BHP I know the performance is great and expect better with greater BHP + Torque in GTD due to it being in a GTI suit.
The delivery of that torque is always a thrill
For this thread I would say go GTI as it is obviously an issue due to that iconic name and red stripe but I think at outcome of this we all going to be very happy and thrilled with purchase be it GTI or GTD as we getting a vehicle that combines genuine performance in perfect balance with all other things we seek in our day to day journeys.
Some will save real money and others will feel their benefit from some additional badge kudos and the occasional times the 'point' second performance makes a difference.
