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!

AGREED!  :cool:

 :grin:.... if we take this forum as a guide the make up of VW owners I would go as far as to say 90% of them are to$$ers anyway  :laugh:

I'd go for (in fact did) a GT TDI. I couldn't justify spending so much more money for the GTD. It's quick enough for 95% of the situations you'll encounter on an everyday journey and returns exceptional mpg.

As said before, a set of wheels make the difference, the cheapest of all mods, Yeti tips and keeping it clean makes for a good looking, do everything kind on car in my humble opinion.

See I looked at a GT TDI 140 before the GTD, but once I had seen how much more you got and it had GTI looks.  That was it GT TDI out the door +  I wanted a little more coming from a mk5 GT TDI 140 (which I have to admit was great too).  I would love a GTI but my fuel credit card would hate it.  But my brain won over my heart. Although I have been looking at used mk5 GTIs recently to have as a toy, but is it really that much faster than the GTI, or should I Just get the GTD mapped.
