The GTD and GTE’s powertrains are more interesting on a technical level. The former has one of the cleanest diesel engines in the world, or so says VW – a 2.0-litre turbodiesel that uses twin
GTI MK 7.5 (also APR stage 1, w/18" 19lb wheels and Michelin PSS tires.) This little car feels spry, playful, throw-it-in-a-turn with impunity. The GTI puts out a generic EA888 4 banger sound w/ the OE noise making rattle box BUT w/ a little exhaust mod to two and maybe a air box for noise at least gives one some aural feedback.
