To re iterate the point I have been making from the start, to customers walking into the dealerships at the moment who I meet every day on the whole the gtd is more desirable to them than the gti because the styling is based on the mk6 gti and there is not real downsides to it based on the current price of fuel. Yes if the gti had the same fuel economy as a gtd then there would be no need for the gtd in the first place and I would buy one aswell and never of got the gtd. The truth is I had a gti called off from emdem in germany to us the dealer last July, a 3 door dsg steel grey at the last minute I thought about what might I want more in the future and the answer is a 5 door golf with gti styling that still goes well but has great economy. I understand if you have a gti you will never say that its less desirable than a gtd.

Kev, someone has a different opinion to you. That is all. No need for the angry paranoia yet again.

You think your GTI is the most desirable. Some people think a GTD is the most desirable. This is quite reasonable. Your posts are not.

Why would I sit here and lie about what I am experiencing with customers coming into me asking for GTD more so than GTI's? You are obviously not quite all there.................

Dear oh dear, because they are cheaper ? more economical and probably dont have an 8 month waiting list ?

Corsa's, Focus's sell more than GTD's and GTI's. You telling me that you have worked out how desirable a car is by what people ask for when they come in and by how many is sold ? Yeah, I'm the one thats not all there.

p.s. Just a little bit more info for you, just to confuse the hell out of you further, I bet more people go into dealers and ask for GTD's over lets say Audi R8's or say Mercielago's or even Veyron's. Must mean they are less desirable than a GTD  :laugh:


People walk in to us and have a choice of a gti and gtd in most cases and more people are choosing gtd's over gti's at the moment, I have never said a r8 is less desirable because they sell less that would be a stupid thing to say (which it is).

Simply people walk in to us and choose the gtd as it is a more desirable package at the moment I am sure if fuel was no object we would all drive r8's.

You are really not grasbing this are you, but I got that understanding pretty quickly

The gtd and gti are in the same allocation so lead time is the same, I recommend you dont comment on something you clearly know nothing about.

No wonder I f**kin swear. I'm gonna really have to go slow for you here.

Could you please describe, that means explain, breakdown and let is know what the desirable package the GTD has over the GTI. Now If you mention price/money, fuel consumption, running costs etc. I'll come down to your garage and pin you up against a wall.

Ok, explain.

Pin me up against the wall? Try this one you weirdo www.queeruk.net

Why is the gtd more desirable to customers at the moment, they all want a golf that looks like a gti but has all the good things and then improves on the gti's small weakness which is its economy. In the current climate GTDs are selling more than gti's because of this.

Are there many types of trackers, please? :undecided:

Two from CobraTrak

About Cobra Trak First

The Cobra Trak First is a 24 hour monitored stolen vehicle tracker which means that should your vehicle be moved without your ignition key, the system will alert Cobra's 24 hour control centre who will call you to confirm that your vehicle has been stolen and, once you have obtained a crime reference number from the police, they will liaise with the police, giving them details of your vehicle's precise location.

Cobra Trak First uses the latest GPRS/GSM Technology and offers amazing network coverage ensuring that your vehicle is never out of range.

The system offers the following:
European Cover
Motion Sensor
Tamper Alerts
24 Hour Control Room
Regular System Health checks

Cobra Trak First Mobile

With Cobra Trak First Mobile you can confirm that your vehicle is still where you left it wherever you are and whenever you want to.

The Cobra Trak First Mobile is the same unit as the Trak First but the subscription is different. The yearly subscription charge is £169.00 with no option for 'duration of ownership'.

A link on your phone browser would give you access to your vehicle's current location in a map format as well as access to your tracking status which would allow you to set or cancel garage and transport modes on your system.

The subscription is £169.00 per year (incl. VAT) and there are no further ongoing charges.

Some questions:

(1) Cobra Track First - cost of unit and installation please?
(2) Any yearly subscription charges for the above?
(3) Cobra Track First Mobile - Is the £169 yearly subscription the same as that of Cobra Track First or is this an additional charge, please?

Thanks. :smiley:

I have the answer at work, however it is in the golf mk6 accesrories brochure if you have one to hand. All I remember is I think it is £250 for lifetime subrcription to the Cobra trak first, they dont do a lifetime membership for first mobile yet. The membership is registered to the car so you would need to repurchase it again when you change the car.
