Bye bye GTI, hello GTD
« on: October 09, 2014, 10:40:03 am »
So last week came the day I sold the GTI. After owning it for 3 years it was set to stay but couldn't justify it along with a company car. The new owner is on here so hopefully will see it about still!



New car arrived a few days ago! Loving it but a very different car!







Will defo stay lurking on here though :)

i'd been looking for a replacement for our mk5 golf sport, and the mk6 gt tdi just doesn't look owt great to me, so started looking at the mk6 gtd, really like the car especially  the front, but they're bloody expensive. the mk7 gt is alsmost cheaper second hand over a mk6 gtd now.

Nice move! The Mk7's are really growing on me, lately. Don't think I've seen a 3dr one on the road yet either.

DDM I can't recommend the Mk7 enough, if you can stretch to it I would say do it!

I have 2 on my home page at the minute, it's only the electric handbrake that puts me off, everything else ticks all the boxes
