Steve30 - I'm interested to see that you are going from an Ed30 to a GTD. I myself am contemplating a change as my Ed30 is now 3yrs old and is due to be changed. What made you switch to diesel and how does the GTD compare as a drive to the Ed?

Interested in your comments.

Cheers, Dan.

I just loved the the GTD after testing it 3 times , felt its a big improvement and more refined + More MPG !! The Ed30 is a brilliant car don't get me wrong , but its time to move on. I'm only getting 18mpg in London, also travel up to Burnley a lot and Manchester. The DSG GTD is an outstanding motor IMO , and makes a great exuast noise!! I got a £29,00 car loaded for £25,600 which is a great deal? Hope this helps thanks Steve  :wink:

I had a similar problem although it was between two mk6s. I was undecided between the GTI and the GTD. Both are great cars but in the end I think it should be easy to decide depending on your priorities. First think about how important mpg/economy is. If it's high priority get the GTD else get the GTI. In the UK I think they cost about the same so that's not an issue. I find the hardest decisions to be which options you should get. Good luck!  :smiley:

Thanks to you both for your comments.

As has been discussed in previous threads, upgrading from a Mk5 to a Mk6 is quite a difficult one to justify as the 6, although better, I'm not doubting that, it is not a massive leap forward, and so I'm finding it a tough, from a personal justification point of view.

I'm looking at alternative cars BUT I just cannot find a car that ticks all of my boxes the in the way that a Golf does!! Anyway, I'm sure I'll make a decision soon, it'll either be a GTi, GTD or dare I say it an 'R'.  :grin:

Good luck and happy motoring with the GTD's.

Anyone know how airbags react when they get soggy?

Just been out to the car and the roof liner, B and C pillars are getting worse and worse - no word off the dealers since 9.30 this morning and just sent another email !

Thanks evryone for your comments by the way  :smiley:
