I bet you havent driven the new GTD? I can tell you now, its by far a massive improvment from the MK5 which does sound like a tractor!! The mk6 GTD sounds better than my ED30!! I dont do tractor's mate>

i haven't driven it you're right, and i can imagine its a v good motor.  but having had lots of diesel's i'm just not a fan of them anymore.  plus consumption is not that much better than petrol (not the way i drive anyway) and its more expensive to fill up.  each to their own though!  and i'm sure it does sound better......but its not as quick and that's what counts

nah i wouldn't, as much as i'm sure its a nice motor, we have just got rid of an a4 3.0 quattro s-line diesel which is a sh1t load quicker than a gtd and a gti - and i still prefer a petrol (and smaller) car!

Women always have excuses when you want to have sex with them.
It goes like:
(1) Can't have sex with you tonight because I am too tired.
(2) Can't have sex with you tonight because I've got a headache.
(3) Can't have sex with you tonight because I am your sister!

I was surprised in your choice steve - esp after you posted you only did 12k miles in 3yrs of Ed30 ownership - no offence but your not exactly a high-miler - you didn't even finish running it in

It's obvious - let me explain. Taxis have to carry three fat blokes (plus driver - also fat) home from the pub. This is where the GTD's Golf R-equalling torques trumps the weedy GTI. If you are skinny, ugly and thus alone, you might just keep up in your GTI. 2WD makes the GTD much lighter than an R so it must be faster still. So, not only are GTD's faster, they are also for popular people - hence why most are the vastly superior 5 door model. DSG gives you valuable extra time to talk to all your extra mates, without having to worry about all that gears thing. Although unrelated, I should mention here that farmers also have more friends than average.

In summary, GTI's are obviously for losers who (I am told) might enjoy 'driving' their sister. Unless of course you are female, in which case you look cool and beautiful and can I have you phone number please?
