For me the GTD reminds me of a ladyboy, it looks right but it's just not the same as the real thing.
awesome!
It's funny how people's tastes vary and I'm firmly on the fence as to whether the GTI or GTD is the better car in mk7 guise. Swings and roundabouts for me.
The red stripe on my GTI drew loads of comments from passers by seeing it in the flesh rather than looking at pics on t'interweb.
The red detailing works well, but better on some colours than others.
When I ordered my GTI back in April 2013 I tossed a coin for it and the GTI won mostly because the LED red stripes in the GTI cabin look better and it had the VAQ and big brakes.
The GTI has the torque of the Diesel (give or take a few lb ft's) and runs on cheaper unleaded yet can still do 40mpg if you drive it like a Diesel.
But I still have a massive soft spot for the GTD and was sorely tempted to get one next year.
Tough one to call, neither is better by a large margin in any one area. Nor is the R...
