Volkswagen Golf GTD review (13/03/2014)

MY GOOD lady wife has been considering a change of car for some time now. Her noble Audi A4 has served its time and I must say I considered it a done deal that she would automatically choose the same again this time around. As is the way with these things, I was sadly misguided.

Well, I was actually right in the end, but the process of getting to that finality took a lot longer than I could possibly have envisioned.

In the process, a number of cars were actively considered. Among them were the Skoda VRs Combi, and two versions of the VW Golf — the five-door versions of the GTi and the GTD, the latter of which we test this week.
