I owned 5 GTi's including the ed30 and fell in love with GTD great car to own loads of torque MPG is just brilliant but the petrol heads on here will shoot me down ,the GTD is better than the gti only just though !! :grin: :smug: :smug: :smug:
PS its 46 degrees right now and no its not gone to my head  :grin:
What? Bang Kok in Thai Land? Again?  :shocked:
I wish Asker , my son couldn't take that flight i'm in Marmaris very hot my son is fast asleep , just seen a Lamborghini parked next to a Tig  :smug:


A Tiguan holiday, rather than a Golf one.
For this, I prefer Tiguan.  :smiley:

That's it then. Mind made up. A GTD it will be (possibly).
Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. Until domani.  :grin:

Honestly you wont regret buying a gtd , if I had the chance of GTI or GTD right now in UK then it would be the GTD all day  :wink:

as good as the gtd can look... you will always get gti  owners looking down their nose at you.

I would get the GT TDI 140 all day long (and remap it) :cool:

I'm an ex-SEAT owner (in fact I still am) so am used to all snotty VW drivers looking down their noses at me, I can take that!
I was looking at GT TDIs back along believe it or not. I quite fancy a DSG one as my mate's old lease car went like a rocket. Comfy too. Just add some nice wheels and LED tails and hey presto!

Mind you, apart from online, when is the last time you saw an R? I've only ever seen two and then only briefly from afar.
