@lamboman1000: I have the TDI 2012 and my friend has the GTI 2010. Both cars are manuals. I chose the TDI over the GTI mainly for fuel economy. The GTI is noticably quicker and more zippy. The TDI can feel slow at times, but in the bends the TDI is just as much fun unless you push it to reckless levels. If you just want thrills the GTI is the clear winner, but overall I'm glad I choose the TDI.
@sargeant002 Well, now that it's winter, how do you like it? Pretty mild winter though, isn't it? I'm seriously considering giving up the Cayman S for something profoundly more economical and practical.
Great Vid, pretty informative. I have one question, I'm looking for my first car, like the fuel economy of the TDI but also like the Horsepower of the GTI, which doesn't have terrible fuel economy either. Is there a noticeable difference in "zipiness"?
I own a 2011 VW Golf TDi 4 Door Three Pedal - it's a great little car. I've had some 42 vehicles and finally I'm set on a vehicle I see myself in for quite some time...a feat no doubt. I average 37+ mpg every time so far. I live in Vermont. I've gotten 45.2 - never a disappointment. Winter will be the ultimate test on how I feel about the car overall.
