I have to agree with Kev  :lipsrsealed:

Quick, edit youre post before someone else see's it  :grin:

why is it a stupid queston Kev? I have a dilema going on about Buying a GTD or GTI? Whats your problem? Alan ? Kev your attiude on here mate is not good (calling people C****) and dissing other peoples views??? Whats it all about?


Thats the way I am, it just all comes flooding out when I see stupid questions asking whats better a GTD or a GTI, I mean come on ffs, it's almost as stupid as the GTD is faster than the GTI one. If you seriously dont know whats the best between a GTD and a GTI then I feel for you. You seriously want an answer to your question then GTI ffs.

I know nothing about iPhones and blackberry's so asked the opinion of those that do.  Yes, I could have gone to the shop and played with them but as I'm not technical all that would have done is tell me what they look like and how they feel.  If the OP is equally untechnical with cars as I am phones, what's wrong with him asking for opinions? 

This site is getting more and more elitest and snooty.

The difference is, a fone can be free with a few quid a month contract. Why the f**k would you think of spending well over £20,000+ on cars you know sh!t all about ?

So let me get this right, bloke one day sees a car he likes, oh that looks nice wonder what it is. Oh its a GTD. Trip to the dealers, oh there's a GTI, that looks nice too. Oh look they are well over £20k. I wonder what they are like - I'll ask in the gti forum, that way I can have a few strangers give me advice on what car to buy. I wonder whats best, I had better ask the strangers in the gti forum.

My advice ? buy a f**kin Corsa if you dont know.

Yes i agree your car looks stunning!! How do find it on motorway is it noisy? have you got DSG? thanks Steve  :wink:

It's fine. It's not noticably quiet or loud. It just trundles along nicely. There may be a slight increase in noise due to the 19 inch tyres but it is not a factor at all. I have the Dynaudio pumping most of the time anyway.

I am just a manual, I considered DSG but didn't go for it in the end.

There is actually quite a nice note while under acceleration and my mates were very impressed. They thought it sounded quite like a petrol while inside the car.

And a taxi when it was stationary ?

 :rolleyes:

Whats the Point of a public Forum Kev?

Not everyone is a brighter spark as you are obviuosly.

Perhaps maybe sit on your hands without upsetting the innocent.

If you do low mileage = GTi ,  high mileage or motorway trowling= GTD

Expensive mistake if you buy a GTD and wish'd you hadnt of picked the other as you will be hit big style in the pocket for trade in.

Both Great cars. Tough decision imo

I think the OP asked for advice on a GTI forum in the belief there'd be posters with both GTi's and GTD's; people who have owned them for 6 months or so,and are in a good position to offer an informed opinion. That's not an unrealistic assumption, nor request imo.

Why be so unpleasant to him?

The thing is the word best is subjective. It depends on your location, how and were the car will be used and your own personal priorities.
