I'm not asking which should I get, I'm just pointing out that these guys don't know what they are talking about. It would be nice to get the 4 motion though.
What car is this? Looking at the UK magazine scan here http://www.myturbodiesel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2202, the GTD doesn't have 4motion and the engine cover is different. It looks like it does have the GTI interior but Golf exterior. The grill is also shiny black without the honeycomb or red/chrome of the GTI/GTD.
I thought this was going to be a question if you wanted a Golf TDI or a Golf R. While I love TDI, I'd have to choose the Golf R for exclusivity, AWD, more power, more aggressive looks, LED taillamps, and the GTI interior.
