Personally, a choice between a GTD and a GTI Golf is better than to choose from:
Astra 1.9 CDTI v VXR (or even a Astra 2.0l Petrol)
Focus TDI v Focus ST (or even RS as 300bhp is a lot for FWD)
A3 TDI v S3
Zim zimmer - 1-Series Diesel v 1-Series 3.0l

Can't compare Mini's, as they aren't available in 5-door etc.

There aren't many small/med-sized cars out there, in terms of overall package, that you can compare to a Golf (have you not seen the advert!?).
But, again, this is a personal opinion.... :smiley:

My opinion also.
I needed a car which was not enormous as parking is very tight at work ( :rolleyes:), but was comfortable, fast, elegant, had a premium feel etc., etc.
So I bought the GTI. There is not much else around that fits this bill IMO. :smiley:

I love my Golf, had it just over a week and I'm constantly looking for reasons to go out in it  :laugh:


However, the world has gone mad for sure.

When asked what car I have ordered I usually just say, "... a GTD which is a diesel version of a GTI."

How many owners refer to their car as just a golf? Or do you refer to it as a golf GTD? Or do you refer to it as just a GTD?

The 3 three letters GTI are an iconic brand on their own. Most people hear those letters and think fast golf.

So was/is R32. It is a pity that the new golf R won't have that. You can't really say that you drive an R without the word golf.

Though the R32 was more of a boys car. Here is a true story. The missus brother bought a new car just after I ordered the GTD. She told me he bought a golf the same as mine which is a mk5 TDI. I was speaking to her father and he said these exact words, "he bought an R three two." I immediately corrected him that it was an R thirty two.

So as far my missus is concerned the R32 is "just a golf". :rolleyes:

I'm a "Golf" or "Golf GTD" kinda guy to be honest.

Day to day I'd say golf but if someone asks "what kind of golf is that" I'd say a "Golf GTD".

When people ask me what car I drive, I say a Golf. The answer is usually sufficient and they reply: Nice. :smiley:
