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.

It's laughably no-where near as quick. But then again, I've only seen GTD owners telling themselves it is. Infact, they say its faster.  :laugh:

The GTD seems to me a fantastic alternative if you do not have the budget for a GTI and driving it  :wink:

You only have to do a few (small= as in debatable) concessions like speed and looks.... :smiley:

there's nothing debatable at all in terms of speed difference between both models. they are not even close. not even in the same vacinity

Kev for us it is not debatable....but for some it is worth quite a few pages.... :wink:

From a GTI perspective, I wouldn't mind doing a car swap for a week to see what all the fuss is about  :smug:

The GTD is only £500 cheaper than a GTI.That's why I am willing to pay a bit extra to get the real deal. Unless the faked Rolex is a lot cheaper!

Price means nothing, I could get an almost new Focus RS for roughly the same price with a big oh haggling and that would horse both GTD and GTI's.
