Does the Golf GTD Deserve to Be Called a Hot Hatch?

In this video, I take a look at a subtly modified Stage 1 MK6 Golf GTD, and attempt to assess whether or not the Golf GTD is worthy of the title 'Hot Hatch'. I've never really been a fan of 'stages' on cars, but the term is used a lot these days to describe the modification level of a car and in this instance works well.
The answer!? absolutely. The GTD bares all the hallmarks of a true hot-hatch, without compromise. In fact, you could argue it eclipses it's bigger brothers, the R & GTI, due to its unrivalled all-round performance.

I’ve just bought one of these as a project, needs an engine replacement but I got it cheap enough and it’s only got 59k on the clock so will hopefully be a nice car once it’s all done.

What mileage ? Rare to find them with less than 100k, wondered if yours had more & how they hold up

the diesels are good engines, stage 1 map transforms the car so much more responsive just give it the old italian tune-up every so often
