Really? I thought it’s comes from 2018 models onwards as my 64 plate gtd doesn’t had one , I wana upgrade to 18-19 plate anyway as I hate the new design mark 8
@@joyantonygunasekara5232 yeah it did! It also had adaptive cruise control which none of my cars have had since then, even though they’ve been more expensive than this was!
@@dannyeldergolf my 64 plate gtd got acc though , lucky me , yeah it’s works much better than normal cruise controls , I like the mark 8 diesel and its function , our gtds are 184bhp if I’m right the new ones come from 200bhp , so wana test drive them how it feels What’s ur upgrade from this just wondering
@@joyantonygunasekara5232 I’ve had a few haha, went I an Audi s3 for 3 years, then an Alfa guilia quadrifoglio for 6 months, and have now had a Mercedes a35 for almost a year and absolutely love it
Fantastic car especially with DSG gearbox. Love mine to bits only complaint is the apple connection data plug on infotainment system, thankfully VW has addressed this on newer models for us android lovers with USB connection instead. This car munches up the miles and with adaptive cruise control makes every journey so relaxing. Go view test drive one!
Yeah the start stop is a little annoying do you get saw tooth wear on the rear tyres. maneuvering at low speeds sometimes a pain with the dsg.. Love mine though. I plan to get a box from DTUK for it.
had my 66 plate GTD DSG a month. fantastic bit of kit. I ordered the parking pack, with a camera like this one and the park assist... is smaller than my last car, a 2011 Vauxhall Astra Elite 165 2.0 Auto, but still swallows the same kit the Astra did - wheelchair etc. it's the smoothest auto I have had to date and the Deep Black Pearl is gorgeous (when shiny and clean)
Sorry if this is a basic question but I don't know much about cars. Does the GTD come with the Bi-Xenon headlights and LED daylights standard or do you have to pay extra for these? It was between this or the GTI (which is slightly more pricey) but I prefer the standard set of rims that you get with the GTD. But I also like the red strip on the GTI! Im not a big fan of the chequered interior though.
elle Jay they come as standard, as does the winter pack which gives you heated front seats. They're pretty cheap at the moment due to the facelift model launching next week. Performance models like the GTD, GTi and R won't be available until late in the year though.
+Luke Piggott You are right well spotted. Thats the new Polo I reviewed, must have edited that in by accident haha! Be alright though you are the only to notice!
awesome car, but as the "people's car" vw golf gti is kinda of extremely expensive used, i found one in germany supposedly well maintained 18k€ in that zone i could buy a bmw, mb, audi etc used.
Shane Earley hahah You're great. Just keep working like this. I've buy two years ago bmw f10 beacuse of your review hahha and now i think i'm going to buy golf gtd for second car
@@LilGugaj you can get a tuning box from DTUK google it well worth it. also if you check ebay after you have found the model you need you can pick up a used box for a couple hundred quid.
seems like a poor version, no key less start for 2015, and from what i saw no mode option button next to the gear nob, i assumed they come all standard from the other reviews, other than that lovely car and def my next purchase
Anthony Boyd I agree. VW do make decent cars but they do feel a bit bland compare to the competition. I will say though that the new Arteon is a looker and I do like that.
In the beginning, he seriously filmed a part in the Polo 😂
Dima kratz to show the different
Steering wheel changed quickly
A lot of you have picked up on a small error I made. Yes I accidentally edited in a small clip from a VW Polo at 2:10....my bad 😂
Shane Earley I was wondering lol
I have a 65 plate gtd and it has keyless entry and push button start. Love the car

Nice car am going to buy 1
I have a 2015, but manual. For a diesel it's a phenomenal car
great review Shane, VERY impressed with the nice steady camera work, keep em coming. ....
Thanks Jerry! Im reviewing a Range Rover Evoque and Mercedes E200 tomorrow
Got a BMW 320d that I'm looking to change. Really tempted by this...
If you buy these golfs then buy a torch or some candles because the headlights are brutal
@@stevie2686 lol, didn't notice the lights being bad🤔. Ive had oncoming drivers flash me in my gtd thinking my lights were on full beam
Omg i thought i was going mad the steering wheels changed lol

That's great to hear! enjoy it :)
MrKnighty008 please do a video!! I'm torn between this or the gti

Full size space saver wheel 14:42 ...brilliant!
2:10 was a different car!
+Luke Piggott What are you talking about?
+Shane Earley Skip to between 2:10 & 2:24...it's not the GTD steering wheel (with the round centre piece) 🙃

Where is the mode button. It’s not near the gear stick?

Great review
Why an apple 30 pin connector thats so old
on mine which is exact model you have featured I have dsg.. Car is great apart from the saw tooth wear on the rear tyres is a pain in the ass..
Iv been saving money for a really long time now and want to get my first car, would anyone recommend this as an option?
Yhammess117 ye for sure, Golfs are very solid dependable cars and the GTD is very popular.
@@ShanesAutos Ok thank you 👍
Good review.... your style is very similar to SaabKyle aha
You've been in 2 cars look at the steering wheel at 2:15 and then at 2:26. At 2:15 is the regular golf VII steering wheel. lol haha
Polo steering wheel actually. Editing mistake on my part! haha
Shane Earley hahah You're great. Just keep working like this. I've buy two years ago bmw f10 beacuse of your review hahha and now i think i'm going to buy golf gtd for second car
the cable is for apple devices
thanks for that. had no idea. im used to seeing aux and usb slots because they are very handy and cover most if not all devices.
AUX is ok but if you wanna use the steering buttons to skip songs you would need that cable :)
I have autopark on mine but too scared to use it .
What is the oem sound system like?
Martin Procházka quite good
Very good very good bass
Why does this sound like a @saabkyle04 video?
Quick
Is it a foot down pedal
Kyle Scholes yes with a click
Where are the mods?
TheDude what mods?
@@ShanesAutos driving mods? I dont see the button on the shiwting gear

Least it won't get nicked by guys with a laptop
No keyless entry or start, bit of an oversight for a £28k car.
eastwood978 just to let you know that it does have keyless entry and start. Test drove a 65plate with it before ordering a 66plate.
With all the keyless entry thefts lately, I'll take a traditional key please.
I prefer the SEAT LEON FR
Why is the standard colour on the GTD so dull and shit, ruins a beautiful car
you have beautiful hands you know :-)
Pudding and Pie thanks 😂
£13000 is a bit too much
Phen0mable you said wut m8 ??
Car seemed to gain climate control in the first few minutes!
May have accidentally included footage from a Polo during editing 🙈
I would love to buy one of these. only thing that stops me is Golfs are always driven by fucking yobs :/
Interesting review still don't like VW though. Bland looks and expensive. Poor value for money. There's far better cars out there
Anthony Boyd I agree. VW do make decent cars but they do feel a bit bland compare to the competition. I will say though that the new Arteon is a looker and I do like that.
Great video very informative planning on getting a golf gtd next this helped :)
