I think this was a Biased test, set up a scenario like Rolling side by side at 40mph and boot it (AT THE SAME TIME) not like your flakey drag race.
So as if to replicate passing a 40mph speed camera on a dual carriageway and nail it once past the lines, up to a reasonable speed you-d be likely to achieve in a short blast along a dual carriageway before catching other traffic. May be upto 70-80mph from 40. Mph let-s see how well the gti does in that scenario because that-s more real world than 0-60mph

What u arnt considering is the dpf in the gtd will clog up in less than a year if u arnt doing 25000 miles a year a lot of ppl buy diesel thinkin they will see the station less but in reality if u don't do the big commute to have them miles at the end of the year you will be handed a 4 figure bill to sort the dpf that isn't included in ur warranty gtd if u do the miles got all the way if not more fun on a normal day to day drive and the performance pack is defo worth a mention too

I quite liked this bloke's comments. Compared to the new Topgear's silly drag race this was quite informative. Of some interest, maybe, is that if you configure either diesel or petrol Golfs, with more basic engines, adding the options to equate to GTI/GTD specs, then you are paying very little extra for these performance engines. You would be astonished how expensive other Golfs become.

GTD all day long, double the MPG more money in your sky rocket for a cheeky Costa latte. 99% of the population do not drive with -urgency- and there are usually other cars on the road. It-s about time the car industry provided realistic reviews and figures and service costs, road tax etc etc.

How can the GTi be the winner when he says based on performance, handling and top end speed? Aren't they already a given? It's a gti, a petrol and has 227bhp not 181bhp. Not the best video I've seen!

I've got a GTD, my dad's got a GTI. Driven both and there really isn't much difference in the real world. Think I made the right choice given the difference in running costs, insurance etc.

natural feedback from the steering? have you ever driven a car with hydraulically assisted steering, or a car with non assisted steering? there is barely any feedback from gti's steering.

This is the most useless review i've ever seen. -The diesel sounds like a diesel-. -The diesel has more midrange power-. -The diesel is more economical-. NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!
