VW Ireland's review

I wonder how long before we see a decent review of one been really pushed around a track 

My guess would be when one of us puts our own car on a track and then does a little write up.

So about 3 months for a GTD then!

I'd say this is the most positive review to date.

In summary "The Golf GTD’s appeal operates at a higher cerebral level, and rewards drivers who recognise that you don’t need to mash the throttle to maintain a rapid pace and put a smile on your face. In other words, the GTD is a GTI for grown-ups"

It seems such a naïve trap for a journalist to instantly compare the GTD to GTI, they are such lame reads.

If someone just wanted performance there is no choice to make, it is GTI all the way!! so I would like to see the GTD compared to it's direct competition from the other brands as that would be far more interesting to me opposed to a review where it is basically the same car and where one then has a huge advantage for them to run the GTD down on - Given the Golf is car of the year and GTI has had such rave reviews and is hot hatch of choice then the GTD reviewed against it's competitors just makes so much more sense and would you imagine be standout also

Stopped reading when he said it cost more than the gti and only had 17” alloys. Maybe in Ireland but not here so pointless review.

I quite like that colour.

The interior of that car is going to be covered in spittle, no wonder they speak Flemish as well as dutch.
