Not too impressed with the interior. I much prefer the gti. The gtd doesn't look special enough. The red of the gti set it out from the rest.

Am I missing something here  :huh: Is the interior not identical apart from a splash of red here and there. Potentially I think I may actually prefer the tartan in the GTD as it could be a bit more classy without the red. I would need to see it in person though

Red brake callipers on the GTD! Surely a mistake?

They are grey in the pictures, only the dimension diagram is red.  That diagram, although separate to the GTI one, is as far as I can tell identical.  So yeah they must have just copied the GTI version with the red ones.

Yeah that's true, that's why I mentioned it.

I thought Germans were renowned for their efficiency? Loads of wee mistakes cropping up here and there
