New GTD Reviews

[monkeyhanger]

Did the reviewer even drive the car? They mention a "brief drive" but don't divulge any details of it, just seems another amble through the brochure specification to determine the figure comparisons and say that tiny figurative diferences between GTI and GTD leave it way behind. Will a 26kg difference in the GTD really ruin it compared to the GTI? Sounds like yet another journalist talking sh!te about a car they haven't really tried. If they had one to try then surely they'd have taken a pic of it rather than use the Tornado Red, Wolfsburg plates LHD GTD stock photo from VW yet again. Absolute bollocks. If I were to review something I hadn't tried and gave it a bad review as a result I could be accused of libel.

That's the best gtd review so far and the test driver is a former touring car champion (if I remember correctly)

Definitely turn the subtitles on, they get the translation so wrong a lot of the time.

Positive review but more obviously so as Business Driver biased - Comment at end to sound acctuator and not sure I would even want this anyway as happily live without it now and kind of seems pointless?

Think have to experience in action to truly judge

Will it also be a standard UK feature? I def would not pay for it. My car due in October (know this as when lease ends on current) so it might squeeze in if standard but to be honest either way not too excited/bothered
