I am not saying this because I own one but at the moment from a salesman with direct contact day to day with the wanting public it is the gtd that people want more at the moment. GTI styling which is great but with superb economy a cracking package. What everyone wants with the fuel prices at the moment and certainly going forward is a car that looks great which the gti and gtd do, goes reasonably well and doesnt hurt the pocket, £110 for 12 months tax yes please, same as a 1.9tdi mk5! With my car averaging 41 mpg doing a 1.5 journey through Cheltenham everyday and 55/60 on a steady run thats got to be 15/20mpg better than a gti! Now it has to be said I love both cars.

Hi evo.

Your post was confusing. Hence my question as I was being pedantic. :smiley:
Yes the GTD + DSG is in high demand and keeps its value better. I've driven one and it is a fabulous car. It is the car I should have bought but I was a bit anti derv at the time.

Regarding the Ed30 gear selector, it is a back order item. I got mine through my dealer and it came straight from Germany. It took 5 working days. I got a small discount and paid £179 inc VAT.

Only messing with you :wink:

Nearly bought a soot chucker , went for test drive , loved it but dealer would'nt do me a good deal. So it was a choice of do i pay £24,500 for a used 09 GTD or £21,300 for a brand new 59 GTI

If I had to buy again, it would definitely be a 5 door GTD+DSG, properly specced.
I would be spending less time and money in gas stations. :rolleyes:

I love that salesman talk, just say the truth. People want the GTD because its a) cheaper and b) cause they cant afford a GTI.

It doesnt make the GTD more desirable, because anyone with half a brain that could afford both would simply not choose a GTD.

You'll probably find a Corsa sells more than a GTI, that more desirable too ?
