Yeah VW take different approaches to pricing in different markets. All based on local taxation and what they think each market will bear. UK is as follows;-

GTD dsg £32,790
GTi manual £33,460
GTi dsg £34,960
GTE dsg £35,960

In Ireland

GTI Manual €44,220
GTI DSG €45,940
GTD DSG €46,335
GTE tbc

These prices will increase on 1st January when new VRT ( protectionist tariff ) rates kick in and will add approx €1k onto the price of new cars. Specification will be lower in Ireland too.

GTD now on the UK finance calculator.

GFV at 3 years and 10k p.a. miles is £15,516.90.

A £3k customer deposit generates monthly payments of £471.21 before options or discount.

By comparison a GTi DSG has a GFV of £16,416 at 3 years with monthlies of £514.44

I appreciate some on here wouldn't consider the GTD under any circumstances, but it still makes some sense if you're in it to save some cash and you plan to hand it back at the end of the agreement.

2k difference in purchase price (GTI vs GTD) but only 900 quid in GFV....

Reflects oil burning negativity...

Still cheaper though!

If I didn't think some loony council was about to ban me from their town/city in the next 3 years, I might be still thinking about a GTD. It definitely would in reality pollute less and cost less in fuel too.

Yes i don't think it's much different to the price i got back in 2017 on my current gtd. Which tbh me felt was entirely reasonable.

Looks like red brake calipers as standard now, but no mention of the GTi's diff.  :sad:

First sort of review here:

No real shockers there, except they also are talking about the ride being harsher than before...

They also mention the ride being harsher in the R Line too, as that also gets sports suspension. At least the standard wheels are only 17's
