Content
16.053 -> The additional tax liability bullshit
deciding what you drive is over.
22.623 -> Everyone pays the same additional tax liability.
25.099 -> That's why the differences between
fun cars and less fun cars are smaller.
31.485 -> A bigger engine or cool options
don't cost that much extra.
40.305 -> That's why a car like this is interesting again.
43.523 -> We're driving the Volkswagen Golf GTD.
47.624 -> We're going to find out if you need to buy this car
if you drive too many miles for a GTI.
55.816 -> Let's be honest. A Golf GTI is fun,
but the fuel consumption is high.
63.777 -> Getting 1:11 (26 mpg) is not bad.
67.9 -> A diesel engine should do better.
70.949 -> Volkswagen gives some numbers for this car,
but we looked at the pre-facelift model.
76.542 -> Its fuel consumption is about 1:15 (35 mpg).
That saves 4 km per liter.
82.539 -> That's nice. The fuel is cheaper
as well, so you save a lot.
88.668 -> Your boss probably likes that too
if you drive a lot of miles.
97.219 -> You recognize a GTI by its
big rims, cool bumpers, etc.
103.521 -> The same goes for the GTD. The facelifted version
too has sportier bumpers than the normal Golf
110.475 -> and some other details.
LED headlights and taillights are standard.
114.395 -> The LED taillights are standard on the new Golf, but
these are a darker red to show it's not a regular Golf.
122.583 -> There's still distinct from a 1.0 or 1.5
driven by normal people.
133.012 -> A number of accents are different and
the interior is cooler with good sport seats.
138.198 -> We know the checkered upholstery
from the Golf GTI.
141.901 -> It's a cool car to see. The ultimate GTI thing
in the interior is the golfball shifter.
153.429 -> It's black, but it has the dents.
That's fun; a finishing touch.
157.951 -> It makes you feel you're driving something
special. Volkswagen did that well.
166.427 -> The looks and interior give you that special feeling
you get from a GTI, but does it handle like a GTI?
175.826 -> To be honest, no. It doesn't.
179.47 -> That's logical. A diesel engine has a different
character and the GTD has less power. It has less hp.
188.052 -> 181 hp, which is a lot less than the new GTI.
That one has 227 hp. That's a lot less.
197.653 -> It does have more torque. It has 380 Nm (280 lb ft) torque,
whereas the GTI has only 350 Nm (258 lb ft).
203.5 -> This makes it a little better.
218 -> This car is really quick and it feels feisty,
especially in Sport mode.
224.153 -> The adaptive suspension does different things.
228.817 -> When exiting a corner and you hit the throttle,
a GTI accelerates, but the GTD could use more bite.
244.961 -> This may be caused by this transmission,
the 6-speed manual.
249.865 -> A 7-speed DSG is optional.
253.619 -> The 6-speed manual transmission has a short
gear ratio, quickly outrevving the power band.
258.618 -> It goes through its revs quickly.
Not much happens over 4,500 rpm.
264.483 -> You have to shift quickly. You miss... this.
269.86 -> I'm nitpicking, though. In the end
it's a quick car and nice to drive.
276.245 -> The suspension is sportier. It's the same idea
as a GTI suspension, but playing it safe.
284.4 -> The GTI does this too. It's not as
exciting and playful as a Mégane RS.
289.803 -> You're not looking for that when
buying a car like this, though.
300.894 -> Concluding, is this the diesel GTI?
304.22 -> It lacks performance, especially in
the engine, compared to the GTI.
308.964 -> However, this is well compensated by
the lower fuel consumption and cheaper fuel.
314.47 -> That makes you happier, as well as your boss
if he gave you a fuel card.
320.704 -> This car is a fun ride. The sound generator
amplifies the sound inside, but it's quiet outside.
330.188 -> It stands out less, which is a good thing. You can
do what you want without people getting angry.
337.678 -> This is a stealth GTI.
346.141 -> Made possible by
nieuweautokopen.nl
350.4 -> Subtitles - Maru's Text Support
