There is this really cool newsletter you really should subscribe to, click here: upscri.be/bf5e35/ I spent some time driving the Golf 7.5 GTD. It's a pretty good car. Watch the review for more.
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.
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.
I have one and its pretty nice though mine isnt stock anymore and idk about stock but with the upgrades ive done it pulls decently and im still adding more stuff😂
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.
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.
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wow.thats terrible.the 7 speed replaced the 6 speed quite some time ago here.i would not be buying a new car with outdated tech.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.
