GT TDi is the top of the range diesel though.

im aware of the new diesel motors... but has to be a total package for me. if it pulls like the GTi and handles just as well then it could well be it.

A GT cant comment - but in the back of my mind i kep thinking that it just isnt a GTi... even though i havent stepped into it.

The GTi interior is also slightly different to the GT.

come have a look and drive at our 1.4 ltr GT Sport TSI it pulls hard and has leather/dsg.

The 2.0 ltr GT TDI pulls marginally harder in my opinion but not a lot. Once you do that then you should be able to decide easy enough. pm if interested.

go the GTI as the after market options are much better

let the modding begin ah! Ottenginer is the starting line I reckon.

no no no, i tried both seats, they feel completely different, i have a skinny a$$, feels like more grip with the GTI seats, the most important differences are the steering wheels, GTI got a better look with a flat bottom and air leather on both sides, plus I hate the GT's gear knob (typical Audi and VW style sideway button T-bar style auto knob), GTI and R32's gear knobs are the best look of all !!!

better seats/interior (eg s/wheel, gear knob, metal bits), alarm with motion sensor, side skirts, better suspension etc
