I know i'm only new to this forum but I don't get why GTD's are spoken about in the same breath as a GTI. I have an A3 TDI S-Line as well as my GTI but would expect people to talk about it in the S3 forums.....

Or am I just being miserable or not getting it?

Does it really matter that much ? It's just a golf

I'm actually a fan of the GTD! Would upgrade the Mrs to the GTD from her GT Sport, but gonna probably get a Tiguan to cope with the snow.

My A3 170 tdi quattro is quicker than the GTD and i don't consider it a "Performance Car" I'm not knocking the GTD, it is indeed a very nice car but on this forum the GTI and GTD are almost blending........

The GTI / GTD / R are marketed together as the performance range of the golf Linky: http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-gti-vi Audi S3 and SLines are not.

The GTI & GTD are virtually identical bar the engines, Audi S3 and SLines are not.

Does this help?

Performance vs lower golf models maybe?

The GTI is the performance petrol golf. The GTD is the performance diesel golf.

Have you had a look on the VW website? They have a section called GTI/GTD/R.
