If you see a high spec one, they’ve aged very well compared so other cars of the same year.
As a fan of Alfa Romeo, I can say to me it’s legit as good as a Giulietta. Albe it more boring. Well the GTD is better looking and looks special. Same price ranges, stimuli performance. For me to consider it means it’s a good car in my eyes.
I agree the refinement for this year and class far outshown the competition and even outdone some premium class cars. Model just came out start recession when no one could buy cars!
Haven’t got a GTD or GTI but my MK6 2.0TDI is a beaut, perfect for my young family, it’s nippy, looks good, comfy, lots of space and has loads of added extras from the previous owner. Can’t fault it!
Looking to swap my mk5 golf for the mk6 gtd! Do the mk6 2.0 tdi turbos make an owl sound? My mk5 2.0 tdi, the turbo makes an owl police siren noise which is normal but I'm not sure if the mk6s make the same noise? Before I go test drive lol
I prefer the shape of these over the 5 and 7
Found the wife a GTD MK6 just before Xmas. Only one owner from new with 26k on the clock and 2 keys and full service history all from same main VW dealer. Came with optional leather DCC and the upgraded sat nav and sunroof. Bloody cracking car. She loves it and I find myself nicking her keys regularly if she’s not using it. I had to do a 150 mile ish round trip and got 52 MPG on that run along motorway and A roads. I would like it even more if it had the tartan seats but hey ho. The optional DCC really works well with the DSG box to. Can really feel the car get stiff and the steering get heavier as you go through the modes, and if you put the DCC in to sport even if the gearbox is just in D not sport or manual it will hold the gear just that little bit longer than if it’s in normal or comfort mode. Really nice colour to in that what I call gunmetal grey they did, can’t remember the actual name VW gave it but it’s a cracking car. The only thing I would say is a negative is the Diesel engines in the GTD’s we’re all affected by diesel-gate! Ours hasn’t had the fix applied to it though and won’t.
Totally agree, i have had one for 3yrs still only 70k on the clock. MPG is excellent and sporty little drive, worth every penny
Let me know when your ready to sell lol
Got my mk 6 GTI 2 years now, loved every moment.
Mk 6 interior > Mk 5
Own one myself same as this one only difference is mines manual and has the 18 inch wheels and full black leather best car I’ve ever owned love it
There was no Mk5 GTD. That ones looks odd - bootlid badges are wrong. Mk6 interior is way better than Mk5. Mk7 feels like a bosch washing machine to me - competent enough but not eliciting any emotion. Very poor MPG too, lucky to get over 50mpg on a long run in the Mk7. But yes, Sadiq Khan will bend you over if you want to drive the Mk6 in London. The Mk6 GT TDI (140hp) is a fun car for quite a bit less money too. Last thing - only drug dealers drive Mk7 GTDs!
I owned a mk7 for 5 years. It was a good car, but had a mk6 gtd before, found it punchier engine than the mk7 gtd, mk7 didn't handle as well, even with bilstein b14 coilovers and poly arms. I've not got another mk6 gtd, the one with the newer cfgb engine, no swirl flaps and uprated fuel pump shaft. Great little cars. Would love a v6 diesel bi turbo a6 but not at todays diesel prices haha
@@andrewcraven6448 I've got a mk5 2.0 tdi, thinking of going to test drive a mk6 a gtd. My question is do the mk6 gtd turbos make an owling police siren noise? My mk5 makes this noise and it is normal but not sure if mk6 gtd makes this noise? Before I go test drive it lol
@@nigel485 if any turbo makes that noise, usually means its on its way out. You should hear a whoosh, not a owl or siren like noise. Good luck with the one you have a look at
@@andrewcraven6448 I know what you mean but my car has made this noise for 40k miles and it's still OK lol I'm ready to change to mk6!
Isn't the MK5 GTD the o 170hp one with the same BMN engine as the Octavia RS?
I have a loaded 2013 TDi 2.0 (american market) and i'm hard-pressed to ever replace it. It's a brilliant vehicle, and i love it.
I purchased a mk6 GTD too. Love it..have Done huge roadtrips with it, around the entire UK.
Bit of an Update.. I can't get enough of my Mk6 GTD. Just drove from London down to Montenegro and back faultless.
@@swoodhall hey I'm looking to pick up a mk6 gtd. I have one question, do the turbos on the mk6 make an owl police siren noise? My current car mk5 2.0 tdi makes a police siren noise but this is normal. Im not sure if the mk6 makes the same noise? Before I test drive lol
@@nigel485 Hiya man, I don't actually know to be honest, I have never heard anything like that. Sorry I'm not much help.
Really tempted by a 2011 GTD I’ve seen, good history although not full. New cambelt and water pump not long ago and only 93k miles.
£6500 🤔
Bit pricy for it not being ulez but an excellent reliable car
@@wakaflockaproject ended up buying a 62 plate one. Full service, 2x keys, fresh mot, Cambelt etc done. 5499. Slightly higher mileage but runs mint 👌🏼
@@ronburgundinho3929 very solid engine. Maybe the last best diesel made by vw group
Looking at one tomorrow 3.5k 130k full service white …guys mrs hit a car in supermarket car park just needs new wing and wheels sorting 👌👌
@@novermbersveryown1161 good deal
Mk6 gtd with average miles or mk7 with higher miles at same price point? Some say the mk6 has the better engine?
I personally would go for the mk6, because i personally like the mk6 over the mk7. But it is important to get the one with better service history
I've had my 61-plate 2.0TDI from 2016 and it is awesome, I'm smitten. It's sitting at about 188k. Looking through Autotrader, I'm always drawn back to Golf's, particularly GTD's. I think the Mk6 series suffered through Dieselgate at the time, which is probably why the Mk5's were kept hold of and many went for Mk7's at the time.
I've got an 09 gtd 140k feels solid unknown bhp but pulls like a train! Bought off a lovely indian couple! "Oh yes sir! It bery bery fast!" Lol you had to he there haha lol! Had it 2years now! When I drive I get 43.5mpg average when I need to be somewhere, more like 23mpg but plenty smiles.. Always ran on Vpower diesel! Never want to part with it! Looked at gtd 7. Nice looking but you are exactly right. You feel like a regular hatchback.. and less hot lol. The mk6 actually gives me more "fizz" don't judge me! VDUB LOVE MAN! ❤️
They are holding their value very well.
The mk6 gtd is the last before the dieselgate tuning they're brilliant also the steering wheel is really sharp looking & the mk6 is a modern mk3 & the mk7 is a modern mk2 so it means that the mk7 should have been manufactured before the mk6.
Bitta waffling but use your imagination on it.
The mk6 is rare because came out in 2009 right around the financial crisis and people were too worried about losiimg their houses nevermind buying a new xar.
Best golf ever ... 156000 and going strong
I think most people bought the seat Leon fr diesel instead I see them everywhere
I own a mk6 GTD, love it but kinda getting bored of it. Bought it cheap and replaced a LOT
Dualmass flywheel
A/C pump
Brakes all around
Mechatronic of the dsg went bad
Good car now tho😂
I work in a garage and those bloody mechatronic units always act up 🤣. Only thing that puts me off Dsg boxes is the issues. Lovely to drive 😃
i mean you changed the clutch wich is after all normal lol. A/C pump nothing special , and brakes? really dude? brakes?
@@Brian2094ify 4 new calipers, 4 new discs and all new pads, kinda expensive 🥲
Nice video bro!! I want to buy golf mk6 gtd but its have 250000 km it's a good idea?
There is no mk5 gtd it's a gt sport 138 or 168
I agree ... the Mk6 just wasn’t an icon like the 5 and 7 ...
I prefer it over the 7
I’ve just watched the part about financing the mk6 GTD and yea honestly I’ve just done it and the cars great DSG to same colour and it’s a brilliant car
Best shape.
the golf GTD is no good to anyone in london because of the ULEZ crap
my 2014 GTD is £20 road tax and ULEZ exempt in London. I think the Mk7.5 is much higher road tax and has to pay ULEZ though.
I think the aerodynamic-look of the Mk6's look miles better than the MK7...It kept that MK3-style line along the sides. MK5's are quality...but are starting to look worn and dated...[unless they're really clean/look fresh & well looked after enough to still blend in]. You can pick up [on average] a high-mileage example of a MK6 GTD say with roughly 146,000 miles on the clock on the cheap now. I've seen some under 5K....
Picked one up for £2700 from Copart a few months ago and the only thing wrong with it was a rear wheel ABS sensor!
@@dopiaza2006 £2,700??...BARGAIN!...I bet you ripped their hand off. And whether they're 3dr or 5dr, they look mint. At that price I'd have been straight there myself. good on you mate👍🏽
@@Spike0000 To be fair, I bought another one for £3200 that was an utter shed! Knackered flywheel, knackered high pressure fuel pump, dented all over, bodged remap/DPF delete, interior stank of diesel. Proper chav car! Looked great online....
@@dopiaza2006 I checked the copart site...Although it's an auction-site for damage-repairable's, it's definitely worth a look. You struck gold by the sound of it with your latest one. And half-decent ones on the market are still between 4K [if you're lucky] all the way up to 6,500K+....I know if they come with the DPF removed & EGR deleted, it's so a remap works without damaging the engine, as EGR's & DPF's block and puts the cars into limp-mode. I've been looking for a while now. Not sure whether to keep looking for a decent GTD, or go for the cheaper [but still respectable] MK6 GT-TDI 140, and have an ECO map....
In dsg sport mode they are absolutely savage.
I’ve got a mk6 gti 22k miles manual. It’s a great little car.
Excellent car power economy going to change exhaust and upgrade to stage 2 will be keeping my12 GTD for a few more years ..
8 grand crikey! I'll keep my sub £2k Mk5 to run to the shops in.
Never done a mk5 gtd. it was a gt tdi
I got the mk6 gti manual
the mark 6 is better than the 5 and 7
I had a mk6 GTI but my mates crashed it, now I’m looking at a mk6 GTD, what should I look out for? I’ve never had a diesel before and don’t know much about them other than how good they are with fuel consumption
I'm about to buy a mk6 3door 2.0 gtd for 2k and I can't wait you don't see them much
Looks like a tdi not a gtd. Youve got a tdi badge on the back. Ive got a gtd badge front and back. Weird
Think it's harder to find one of these with the 1.4 tsi engine 😂
You can’t get a gtd with a 1.4
Disagree I’ve had the mk6 mk7 I kept the mk6 imop was so much better. You only need to look online the mk6 are going through the roof.
Mk7 really boring and thirsty
Same, had a mk6 gtd, then a mk7, now back to a mk6 gtd. Mk7 downsides, rear calipers squeak after 3k miles of disk and pad change, engine power delivery not as punchy as the mk6 and last the mk7 handling is poor vs the mk6 gtd
The prices of late mk6 gti (clean cars ) are going up
Got one 3dr rare very nice car
350nm? Really
2.5 gang
Alot of talk about the car but not much about the driving experience. I always liked the idea of one of these as a hot hatch but don't know if there any fun on the corners. And whats the comfort like compared to a mk8 fiesta st?
Audi A3 s line or gtd golf?
The audi looks better in my opinion
the mk5 didnt make a R and after owning a mk5 and a mk7 golf out of the 2 the mk7 golf gti is the best out of the lot
R32 ?
@@jamesstrand7559 Ah yeah forgot about that one 😂 but doesn’t compare to a R of now days
How is road noise?
Very quiet when I drove the Mk6
I got a mk6 gti edition 35 now that’s a different animal!
Neymar???
Golfs good cars but bloody boring!
