VW Golf GTI vs GTD, which one has better drive?

Question

Is there actually a noticeable difference in the driving experience between petrol and diesel cars? I want to buy a VW GTI or GTD and don't know whether to use petrol or diesel.

Answer 1

Have the GTD as a driving school car, you can't go wrong with it, it's easy to drive, especially due to the high idle gas, you can't stall it at all;). But also has 50hp less than the GTI.

Answer 2

It certainly depends on the car, but starting up and shifting gears with diesel is much more "fluid" and more pleasant. In addition, a diesel vehicle also pulls a little more.
