Priced too closely to the GTi? Not much demand for performance diesels?
2017 GTi Clubsport arrived June 2017
2007 Shadow Blue GTi, sold on after 10 years ownership

Four wheel drive diesel makes me think of a heavy engine, heavy drive train (poor fuel consumption) and lardy handling - maybe i'm not alone! :smug: :wink:

Drove like the GT 170 tdi with no wheel spin and better grip on wet roundabouts.Its basically a front wheel drive untill the rear needs traction,I have GTI 30 on order but it still impressed me.

Doc Its silver from Glasgow.

cheers
