« on: 08 May 2016, 16:56 »
Peeps its been a while since I have been on here however I am in a situation where I dont know whats best:

Do I change my golf mk6 GTD 170bhp for a MK4 R32 or stay with GTD?

Please please please help

What isnt helping is the GTD has done 82k and believe the cambelt needs changing at 80k? or am I totally wrong?

Keep the GTD, it'll be like going back to a horse and cart!

In terms of chassis and tech no

In terms of rareness and looks then yes

Have you driven a MK4 R32??  :huh:

if a £350 cambelt is putting you off keeping a GTD you aren't ready for the running/repair costs of a Mk4 R32

The costs are ok and I didn't get the cambelt done as considering changing it. Checked garages and to change it in doesn't make much of a difference in what I would get hence wait and put it towards a decent service of another golf?

Keep the GTD, save for a bit longer and buy a R32 as well.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I would have a well looked after low mileage mk5 R32 as it's a dream to drive and the sound is just amazing, the fact the chassis is so nice and comfy is just a plus!
