Hi Calv, GTD owner here. Quite well spec’d that one mate. Keyless entry is the nuts 👌 Adaptive cruise is brilliant too. Stage 1 tune makes a huge difference to the car. 460NM changes the car entirely.

Bought a GTD three years ago, brilliant car. Still daily driving it with no problems at all. I put some lowering springs, 19” Rotiform wheels and a GTI diffuser with the exhaust to make it look even better. Would 10/10 recommend the car to everyone👌🏼

I have a 2019 GTD, and at the time, VW threw in the £300 reversing camera. Well chuffed with the car. You can easily get over 50 mpg when cruising.

Ive recently bought a 68 plate Golf Gtd dsg,great car for a daily driver,50mpg easily achievable in daily driving,60+ on a decent run out,i had a Golf R & a Audi S4 before the gtd & needed something cheaper to run,Gtds will always sell well,good car to have in stock to sell. 👍

[@Jahmed5635]

I think for the money mk7 gtd’s are right now you really can’t go wrong, fantastic daily’s for the price you pay and the performance of these things are brilliant, a lot of them have stupid high mileage but the engines are relatively strong in these, mk7.5 golfs look fantastic 🤤

[@dilumpatel9796]

Great cars I had mine from new and it went back with just under 100k miles in 4 years. Stuck to Vw dealership serving and it never put a foot wrong. Stick some pilot sport 4s on it, and on a ‘B ‘road it will keep up with a standard golf r no probs. The electric diff on them are great 😃

[@Greenmould]

I have the mk6 gtd. apart from a weird rust issue on the door, best car I’ve ever owned. Good choice!

[@kup0nutz]

My last car was one of these - absolutely loved it! Ticked all the boxes, smart, economical, comfortable and surprisingly nippy (with a stage 1 map). I spec'd the sports and sound pack so the exhaust even sounded good for a diesel. I'm working from home these days so traded it in for an S3 😋 still miss the GTD though

[@JC-cr3us]

what do you do for a living mate

[@50Aslan]

Yeees, finally!!!! My Golf GTD has almost every spec, the only 2 things that it doesn’t have is a sunroof and automatic folding sideview mirrors

[@santana9537]

Can never go wrong with a golf. One of the cars that does everything alongside something like a 330d. Can you do a comparison of the gtd against a gti and then maybe compare a golf r to a gti clubsport??

[@akashsp]

These are such underrated cars. I had one for 3 years and loved it! So much fun on country roads while still giving you good MPG. Not to mention the power you can get out of it if you give it a remap! Got the XDS slip diff and torque vectoring so it handles so well too, what a car 🙌🏽 The 65 plates saw a spec update so those came with keyless, heated seats and the updated touchscreen with CarPlay capability. Well worth getting a 65 plate or newer if you’re after one of these.

[@dweatherley]

I've got a 2014 GTD Manual and it's a great car. it has a few optional extras including Pearl White Paint, Keyless + Heated Seats (These were options on earlier Mk7's until halfway through 2015 where they became standard), Dynaudio Sound Package, pro Nav 8 inch and a few other small bits and bobs. Great car, regret getting a manual though, I think the DSG gearbox suits the car better. Handles like it's on rails. Great all-rounder, cannot get the MPG below 35 and my long term usually floats between 47 and 50 which is great for the power. Nice video - good to see one of these on the channel mate!

I don't understand the aversion to higher mileage cars - I currently own an Alfa Romeo 159 ti SW 2.0 jtdm with 118,000 miles - not a rattle or a squeak inside the car and it drives like a dream. I am currently looking at a Saab 9000 CSE with 198,000 miles, but with a full service history and a stack of paperwork and a mild remap to +/- 270 bhp. For a 1996 car, it is surprisingly quick. Legendary engines in them which are bulletproof if looked after.

What app does Calvin use for HPI check and valuations of optional extras

[@kb8729]

check my video for GTD after stage 1, the 3rd gear acceleration video is short but shows the swiftness. The other videos the car had just been mapped but alignment was out. Key things for any GTD- 4 wheel alignment, V power and yes it’s not cheap but it’s necessary, Michelin sport 4s are the best tyres by far (don’t get the Goodyear’s, don’t try and race everyone 0-60 it’s not geared for that, the power will be delivered from 4th gear onwards so if that little car is stubborn you will soon be cruising past don’t worry. Always warm the engine up, they will consume oil so keep on top of that and don’t mix oils, replace the OEM filter with a BMC panel or if your flush get the racing line cold air (you’ll want to map the car after as they can increase the hp).. don’t play with the cat or the exhaust it’s a diesel. Always let the car cool off after a blast, ideally let it drop to 94c on the digital display and keep an eye on your high pressure fuel sensor! Have fun.
