GTD Missing that little bit of somthing???

[R32UK]

I transferd the net over from my ED30, I very nearly did the gear lever too (Golf ball) miss that, But even the panels dont feel as solid , the door's, bonnet. I think the car is lighter as well?

iirc they have changed the panels (well doors anyway) from the ones with removable sins to normal ones. although i wouldnt say it makes it feel any less solid. Placebo?

Steve, I`m gonna slap yopu upside the head ! 

Just feed the GTD haters (well, Kev anyway) more ammunition why dont ya?
I just finished a week in a GTD with 6k on it and though I didnt like the DSG, it did feel quicker than mine, and I`m putting that down to the engine loosening up.

Hi Dan, please slap away mate hahaha, I will defend the car to the max becuse its a fantastic piece of kit, as ive said before the mk5 diesel does sound like a tractor, and feels like one too! But not on the new GTD , also the dsg box is not in tune with the response of the paddles?? Hope ive made sense there? The ed30 was so responsive with DSG. The jury is out on DSG & diesel ?? Not sure about it?  I am not going down that road of DSG re-map, no chance!! ps there is no soot on my exaust and i have not cleaned it since i bought it, well not the pipes anyway. The pipes on my Ed30 wrere always filthy black , so the engine is much cleaner IMO.

Kev, you`re just the one that shouts loudest, thats why you get singled out, dont worry, it was said with lots of lurve 

Makes me laugh when you call me a pussy, if we ever meet I dont think you would then (I dont mean that in a threatening way BTW).

you have changed from owning a car which has pretty much the same engine as the new Golf / Scirocco R, albeit slightly detuned, to a 170 ps diesel

Its like changing from a M3 to a 320d - your gonna notice a drop in power..

Look on the positive side of things though steve, your MPG will improve

That hit the nail on the head, what did you expect from the GTD?
