They look mint I must say..Great Pic too with the lighting.  Still think I prefer the Vancouvers, but that's probably because I've got a little bored with the Charleston's after having them on my MK5 GT Sport for the last 3 years.  Very nice indeed, looks like a great swap over the shadows.

Well after owning an ED30, i thought i would hate the diesel engine, only took me about a week to get used to it. Would i buy another GTD yes i would no problem, and i'm hoping the next one is twin turbo, we live in hope? :cool:

The DSG is ace with diesel too sounds lovely.

I've never actually been fortunate enough to hear the GTD as a DSG.  Does it come with the same characteristics i.e. pop on Gear change as the GTI DSG?  Any good You Tube links?  I got bored searching!

Doesn't pop like a petrol no, but crip, clean, mega fast gear changes.

The DSG 'box in these cars is the best yet, they even creep on the Brake like a conventional auto now making them much easier to manoeuvre into tight parking spaces etc.

Noise wise I find passengers always say they like the noise from the engine when you give it some too  :wink:

Cheers fellas  :cool:


The GTD DSG I drove was an animal - it was so responsive it was something different!

I read before I bought the GTD that it is the first enging that they have been able to acoustically tune to deliver a 'sporty note' to the diesel rather than the traditional rattle and hum

I can vouch on the manual that it does have a sporty edge when under acceleration and at idle whilst still a diesel doesn't sounds as rattly as my previous VAG cars.

The sporty "non-diesel" sound is great, love it.
Little known fact that 5 of the legs of the vancouvers are polished. the raised legs.
