Tracker

It must just be me then, It took me a while to realise that the GTD is faster than the GTI and I think maybe I'll just need to give in and accept that the GTD is a more desirable car than the GTI.

So to recap. The GTD is faster than the GTI and the GTD is also a more desirable car.

Who would have thought.

Who said it was quicker?

Not you. It was said by all the GTD owners on a previous thread. I had to also give in on that one and accept that fact. Don't you go saying the GTI is faster now.

Name & shame them ?

Shame them ? Now your telling me its not faster ? No wonder my head is fecked.

winding you up Ginger

That is simply something the GTD cannot get close to.. remap or no remap. I know many will say that I havent driven the GTD but I have driven the 140GTTDI and 170GTTDi extensively.. and although a great drive they do loose out on the handling aspect with that rather heavy derv engine in the front.

Does the GTD not share the GTI's suspension set up though?

It would have to be different in terms of spring rates etc to cope with the extra weight of the diesel engine 

My point exactly!! it doesnt even drive like a GTI!!

Surely the most important aspect of a hot hatch is how it drives??

[Steve30]

Its not far off , we are splitting hairs here now!!

On the original thread subject. I sort of do.
Im currently trying out a system for a mate before he may takes it on in his ICE buisness. It basically tracks and logs info by Mobile phone and google maps.

Oh and the questions on the subject of the price that was questioned that someone paid for there GTI. it  seemed about right to me for the time as taking my cars different spec into account mine would work out similar. I have been offered far far more than i paid for mine against a scirocco R. Sorry to the new guys/girls but the prices now for a GTI, are much more than they were this time last year. Some luckie people and we all know who they are as we have been told enough  also got scrapage took off ontop of a reasonable discount.

I have had one car stolen twice and returned thanks to Tracker. Both times it was driven about 20 miles away and parked up. I got it back both times completely undamaged.

Tracker seems to be the system of choice used by the rozzers which is why I went with them.

And as for GTi v GTD desirability,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please, please, please can we make this a GTi only forum please.

GTD owners please go away and find your own forum.

The GTD is as desirable as a dose of the clap. Totally different proposition to the GTi.

And as for ecomomy my GTi will do 45mpg on a run no problem, oh yes and hit 60 in 6.5 secs and oh yes handles like a dream and oh yeas makes one hell of a noise as it does it.

GTD desirable ! my god please noooooooooo

At last someone who speaks complete sense   I fully agree with you on this I am getting on average 45mpg regularly so the argument that the GTD is far more economical is a nonsense really. 45mpg from a sports hatch wow GTI for me all the way

What a senseless statment to make , obviously never driven the GTD

[evo1986]

Well mine will do 60mpg on a run similar 0-60 with revo. Lets not get into that gti vs gtd as they are both great cars and we are lucky to own them.
