    Wow love the digital dash display looks truly high end. Also its the screen display security protected.
    GTD absolutely fantastic looking car and all that torque sounds very quiet.

    I really like the 7.5 - I currently drive a 2015 GTD 7. But there just are not enough worth while changes to make me spend all that money to upgrade. The only thing that I would like in my GTD is the active display.

    • @ShawnJooste
      @ShawnJooste  6 років тому +3

      Active display isn’t worth the upgrade. Golf 7 GTD is an excellent car, I’d just stick to it. Wait for 8 or even 9, that’ll be a worthwhile effort to upgrade.

      You can always retrofit it, if you are seriously interested...

    You get more power and torque on European models. 380nm and 137kw

    Always put your bag in the boot not in the car. Let's avoid smash and grabs.

      No, they are standard on GTD. Optional for 2.0 TDI 150 hp for £495.

    It's 380Nm

    • @danielduda7981
      @danielduda7981 6 років тому +2

      That's normal Golf. GTD is 184bhp/135kW; 380Nm

    • @paulb8153
      @paulb8153 6 років тому

      TU PAC DELOIN - Actually we are both right. In England we get the new more powerful 2.0 GTD 184PS and 380NM. While you in South Africa get the less powered engine that we put in and moderate Golf R-Line and GT Models. Can't think why VW in your Country would put that under powered engine in what is supposed to be the next model under the GTi. Also we get 7 Speed DSG. I know which I would prefer. Having been to SA several times reminds me that I need to revisit. Love the place. Great friendly people. Oh and cheap booze.

    • @ShawnJooste
      @ShawnJooste  6 років тому

      So the apparent reason we get the detuned engines is because we’re a warmer climate 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Got the same from Audi when they brought the S3 out.
      As for the DSG, no idea why we get the 6 speed. I should probably ask VW at some point.

      @@ShawnJooste in the UK at least, the 7 Speed DSG couldn't initially cope with the extra torque/power combo in the GTD. They uprated it for the later 7.5 apparently. At least that's what I was told, although there may have been an overlap. My 7 has a six-speed DSG.

    Great review but the audio needs a lot of work as your voice is quite quiet and unclear.

      Nope, in South Africa they're sold as 6 Speed DSG's: www.vw.co.za/en/models/new-golf-7/trimlevel-overview.s9_trimlevel_detail.suffix.html/golf~2Fgtd/tab=TECHDATA.html

      wow.thats terrible.the 7 speed replaced the 6 speed quite some time ago here.i would not be buying a new car with outdated tech. surely this will cost vw big time. best avoided i think.

      My GTD will do a combined in the real world of 50mpg. I find you have to work hard to get over 60mpg but then again its not that kind of car lol
