If your after a true drivers car then the more powerful engine will likely make driving easiest / effortless outweighing all other potential options.

BM doesn't live up to its claims and is a little common, GTD (got it right this time) are rare and therefore more exclusive £30 well worth it. Match is nice, GT is better.

Cloth will wear better, Leather tends to crack when its hot, so couple some fun time with your missus and the winter seats = well 'crack'ed seats.  :cool:

Sweeping statements there - if you look after leather (eh hum maguires) it will wear far better than cloth.

On the to GTD or not to GTD - Go for the GTD, if the choice is down to two diesals then you want to go for the one that's at least got the looks!

Not quite true imo...... My cars a couple of years old, done 30k, is used daily and the leather is as good as new  :wink:

However I seem to remember some stories on here about bolster way on cloth seats  :evil:

VW leather is known to be less than hard wearing plus it is not all genuine leather, some is made up of that dodgy stuff they call leather faced!!  :huh:. 

If I were you I'd go for the GTD with the cloth seats as mine are as good as the day I collected the car, you have the looks of a cloned GTI with the fuel consumption positives of a diesel, with the extra bit of va va voom.

I start talking about girls and "cracks" on seats and you boys start pulling me apart on the differences between cloth and leather, I think you should all stop what your doing and go out!
