Had this mk7 for 5 years, stage 1’d after the 4th year. Actually an unbelievable daily driver, still have it around as a second car, can’t go wrong with it
They're not direct rivals but this or a 320d/420d?? I think the bmw is more fun. Golf probably slightly quicker down a back road but a bit boring screeching around roundabouts where the bmw goes a bit sideways!!
Owned one for a year! Needed a litre of oil every 700 miles! Ha Had it mapped to 230hp! Still love that car! Shouldn’t have sold it!
The GTD is cool in its own right, but I don’t understand the point. I have an MK7 GTI with a simple $500 tune that makes 321hp and 351 lbs./ft of torque and I’m averaging 34 mpg US (41 mpg UK) and I typically have a blast to well over 100 mph on many drives. Mechanical LSD and Golf R brakes too. It’s the perfect performance to fuel economy balance. With the GTD, all you get is economy and forgettable performance. You gotta love diesel’s over everything else I guess.
Great review mate 👌
Nearly bought one about 3 months ago. 17 reg, 15k miles. Garage never answered any calls so couldn’t go and see it or book a test drive. So then got in contact with a garage with a manual 17 reg bmw 220d m sport, which has every option minis pro nav, also on 15k miles. So happy I went rwd, just makes the slightly boring diesel engine more enjoyable than my dads 7.5 golf gtd. not sure if I should have gone auto now though but I’m happy with what I’ve bought and I think I would have been happy if I had the golf too. But the bmw definitely feels higher quality than the golf and doesn’t have issues like knackered water pumps at 40k mile, leaking boots that turn the spare wheel well into a pond etc
I've got a golf sv 2 litre diesel 150 remapped to 200bhp. Enough power for overtaking but wouldn't call it a performance car. Saying that a gtd would be a lot more fun to drive than my car. I get around 50-60mpg on a decent run
Can you do a 60-130 time?
335d or gtd in automatic with decent spec they’re pretty much the same price I would rather have 335d as daily same fuel economy and faster
Ive got a mk7 gtd best car I've ever owned not the fastest but by far the best all round car
Had mine 5 years now mapped it last year really wish id done it befoe absolutely brilliant car never tire of driving it and this is my 3rd golf and 5th vw by far the best of them all. You should definitely drive a mapped gtd. Great review
The handling of the GTD is excellent
I've got a mk7 tdi and fair enough my driving is a bit on the spirited side but 55mpg is an impressive figure for it
I considered this, and ended up with a mk7.5 Golf R. I always used E5 fuel and mix of Race and Normal mode as a daily, and was getting a solid 30mpg. When I was dropping it off to sell it. I drove in eco mode from Scotland to Derby and got 47 mpg. Now because of the interest rate rises, I can't even get a bog standard A3 for the price I was paying for a Golf R lol
Had as a company car for about 18 months 18 reg mk 7.5 (digi dash is a great feature on these). The only comp car I really didn't want to give back (had an 17 plate a1 petrol that was also great fun, 17 plate a4 diesel that was nice inside but a bit meh, and a 67 plate Q3 which got the most attention from the opposite sex but was boring drive and dated infotainment).
Hi mate what did the creaking turn out to be? I have the same on mine now🙃
Probably the only diesel I'd own
Best tyres on this car are the Michelin Pilot sport 4s. The Michelen pilot 5s have not been so good. Use proper oil and good fuel.
I found the diesel A4 was much more refined than the GTD in insulating that diesel sound
Love the review, this is my dreamcar😮😮😊😅😊
