Other cars with comparable spec to gtd/gti

[mcmaddy]

As title what other cars if any have the same or better standard spec than a gtd or gti for the money?

I think you'll struggle.

Leon FR may come close but interior quality isn't as good.

I glanced over a Fr the price was on par with the Gti but it was really let down by its interior very very cheap feel plasics the door cards were a joke and the styling was only so so I was not impressed at all altogether cheap hence hello Gti and loving my choice and the car overall...

If you are talking VAG, then SEAT and Skoda either won't come with the bells and whistles as standard OR not even be able to spec them at cost OR if you can spec them, the price comes up to around the same.

Audi A3 of course is about 5-6k more for the same spec because you don't get anything as standard

A Mini is about 5k more with all of the GTi/GTD toys.

A Volvo V40? Not looked at that one yet, but tempted to...

The French stuff doesn't get near it, Vauxhall or Ford meh, Nissan don't make a sporty Almerra any more.

I come from a gt86 not much in the way of extras but what a fun car....I loved every second but in the end the lack of rear seats and a family forced my hand, I am loving the golf it works really well but if you want fun and thrills with really only two adult seats it would be hard to beat toys or no toys.

You do get the same step up in interior quality with Audi as you step down with SEAT or Skoda. Audi cabins are something else and my TT was as rock solid at 4 years old as it was new.

As a mix of content and quality, though, VWs are hard to match, across the range. (IMO of course!)

Not just yet Andrew but I do miss the gtd. Plus with only getting 33-35ish for my work run the fuel bills have gone up quite a bit which I did realise before but I reckon I could be getting 43-45 in a gtd easy.
It does show however what good standard spec the gtd and I come with when nothing else really stacks up. I don't think the Skoda and Seat interiors are that far behind though which makes them an interesting alternative.
