GTD fantastic!
« on: 30 June 2010, 23:37 »
My mate turned up today in his new GTD, candy white and he's had the wheels powder coated black, it looked fantastic! I took it for a drive and it was awesome.  Really, really impressive car and he's a rep so it's perfect for his excessive milage.

And then I drove my MK6 this evening and realised the massive performance difference between the two cars and anyone who thinks that the GTD is anything like a GTI needs to go and have a quiet word with themselves in the corner.

If I was a high miler i'd get a GTD but as a drivers performance car, there is no comparison with the GTI.

Sorry Gos, but your full of it. The GTD IS faster, is more desirable and is a better car. Haven't you learnt a thing from your time here ?  :laugh:

Good review, I'm doing 700 miles a week in mine and its a proper pleasure, every day.
ACC and Dynaudio make it. The third best thing is the USB socket, I'm finding myself listening to a lot more decent music instead of the radio and thats got to be good....

Yep, best golf that isn't a GTI or an R, the sensible choice for someone who needs the practicality of a diesel but still wants a sporty little number!

But Gossa am i not correct in thinking you have a little extra power in your GTI? does that not make it a bit unfair?

yes indeed i do carry a few extra bags of 'oomph' but factored that in. My point is, the GTD is a great great car for those people that want a sporty diesel but it isn't a GTI.

I've never driven a MK6 GTD. However comparing my GTI to my previous car which was a MK5 170 DSG then yes I would agree with you Gossa that the GTI has more performance and also road presence.

I must admit I do miss the extra millage I used to get out of my GT. It was a great car and I certainly would never be put off buying a diesel again.

Lets be fair though, the GTI's and GTD's are both fantastic cars...... Its as simple as that really......  :smiley:

p.s. Gossa, get a pic of your mates black powder coated alloys. It would be interesting to see what they look like.

Ive driven both a GTD and a GTI and i cant understand why people are going on about it being just as quick etc etc.

IMHO it's not.
