Welcome. I love my GTD - very comfy and economical, I've done 1100 miles in 2 weeks and averaged 50mpg.
The wait is a killer though..
No regrets over not getting a GTI?
I can't see why anyone would regret not getting a GTI if the PP wasn't required.
Balls out the GTI would be a lot quicker but the GTD covers ground just as quick in real life conditions, has likely got a better resale and costs less to run.
I spent a fair bit of time in mk6 GTIs and GTDs and have to say that unless remapped the GTD is a more rewarding car to drive on that chassis as the mk6 GTI lacks torque and is crap on fuel in comparison. Can't see why the mk7 would be any different.
Will take cover behind the sofa now!!!
