This guy just has full-blown arguments with himself in every single video lol

Imagine Calvin after a line. Your ears will be bleeding.

Owned one of these for 7 months now, nothing bad to say about it, buzzing to see this video on my feed, love the mk6.

Personally i don't like diamond cut wheels, i'd have them sprayed over. But those wheels on that GTD are meant to be silver. They look rancid in black.

Like Calvin said. People that cheap out and refurb their wheels on a budget have to go black due to the cost of a proper diamond cut . Spend a few pound more and refurb them properly. It’s a good buying point as well. If previous owners are cheaping out on their wheel refurb then what else are they cheaping out on? I own a Mk7 Gtd and it’s a great compromise between power and economy.

I think like most golfs, it can do everything well, just nothing exceptionally well. I’ve got one myself and have even started using it for track days, with a few mods I think it will really transform the car to something much more exciting!

Think what you was trying to say, Calvin, is diesels have what they call a `power band`, starting when the turbo kicks in, then quickly running out of steam as you get past the power band.

Maybe you should do more videos of cars that people can afford yeah rs6 is lovely so is every other one of your 100 millions cars that you can have.

Wish they had GTD available in the U.S. I do love my MK7 GTi performance package as a daily. Did a remap COBB, K&N drop in, MA Performance catted DP, upgraded brakes, fluid, SS lines. Quite a beast

Love these type of car vids! Always good to have those affordable car videos *occasionally*.

Yet again quality from Calvin 👊🏾

These engines are quick I have the octavia vrs Tdi with Dsg and it moves

Happy Christmas Calvin hope you have a great day

If I was in the marker for a car I’d get this one, nice spec, great mileage, diesel and very reliable

Another great video Calvin such a lovely car and purchased at 27 what a great achievement by he brother..

These mapped are very quick, shedloads of torque

All I can think at the first part is need to sort your seatbelt out 😂

Swap out the little stereo for an rcd330, updates the interior by a mile imo

Don't be to harsh on the old diesel engines :) some of the newer BMW and Audi engines would surprise you :) also love watching the scenery as you whizz round Toddington :) have a awesome xmas big man :P

I love diesels are daily's loads of midrange torque for over taking and amazing mpg

11 grand!!! That’s top money for one of these, even at that mileage! (Hmm, I should have watched more of the video before commenting on price🙄)

They are great little cars, hence why, I’m getting the MK7 GTD in January

My Audi a1 tdi was the best for fuel. Only got rid of it coz I wanted the petrol sound back 😂

I've got a high spec GTD MK7. Love it almost owned for 2 years now

That's actually my dream car. I hope one day could afford it 😢

Stood in front of a stunning charcoal grey gtd today and I fell in love, I honestly want to go all out for it

Nice mk6 and vlog Calvin. Please could u review a mk7 gtd, or even a gtd v gte!!! (would be an interesting comparison)😀

‘Beautiful’ lol, that’s the car trader in you speaking there me thinks!! 😁, much much better with the wheels refurbed though.

Diesel cars are awesome. I had a 318d E90 and I remember I went to Birmingham, Worcester and back to London all in the same day... came back home with half a tank remaining 😂👌🏾

Top channel this! Just laughing at the arguments with yourself cracking channel! Plus I’ve been looking at these or the mark 7 version which do you think is better really?

Currently driving a 12 plate, 167k on the clock, 2.0 GTD, I have it 2 years, 1 previous owner, getting high 50 on short commute and as much as 70mpg on a long journey doing just below 60mph, love these cars, this is my 3rd golf..

Great video. And this guy is funny af to watch

Getting rid of the Sailwin chinese ditchfinder tyres would make a huge difference, especially in the wet. Stick some Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on and it's different car.

Nice one Calvin I love diesel cars there quick these days I remember 2.3 diesel sieras

great video ....I own a low mileage mk6 gtd DSG an you really high lighted some of the great stuff in them...👍#greatsportdiesel #underratedgoodmotor

Hahaha. I love you Calvin. You have arguments with yourself, try and sell us the car and in the same breath tell us not to bother cus of the diesel charge. Haha. Love it. Keep making there videos mate they're brilliant!

Calvin how much did the wheels cost to refurb my mk7 Austin's have started to go milky under the clear cote

I've got a 66' reg mk7 one and it already has 5k miles more

Calvin please do a video of the green Lexus LS400 you have at BINCA right now!

Calvin that car has been clocked back a lot 😂 the leather interior shows it 😂

Good vid Calvin lad. No negatives. I've owned golfs for the last 7 years. Currently running a mk6 gt tdi. Very nice cars. But, why would a 40,000, 7 year old car need wheels refurbing to an extent where they're painted a completely different colour?. Mines still on the original 18" vw alloys, 142,000 miles. Few kerb marks if that.

This guy is killing me. Top geezer

yeah those wheels made all the difference nice car

Do you change your stoplights

Handles well, Comfortable, safe, will give you 215bhp with a map.. What's not to like. I've had a petrol golf and they are worse on fuel than you'd imagine. The diesels are too especially the gtd models. It's VW isn't it haha. A great car.

Just bought one great condition pretty cheap; love the look

The MK6 is the last of the future classics!

@14:36....I’d make an argument for my f31 330d (mapped and flashed).....all the conveniences and economy but it’s also wickedly quick everywhere and the 6 cylinder even sounds great!!! The 2 ltr cars work well but with the extra capacity M......and the addition of an lsd 😉 (on the wish list) IMO you’ll give an m car a good run for its money 💪🏻

These CR-engines on these from 09 upward are far smoother/economical/tunable and sound more like a petrol being a "Common Rail" system engine....The older PD-engines sound like taxis.."Gadaggadaggadagga"..but are still known as bullet-proof/go-on-forever type engines....I'd love one of those MK6 GTD's..especially with a good base-model-170 bhp to play with. There is always the slightly cheaper GT-140-version..Oh decisions..decisions....:)....

Cracking little motor if you've a decent commute to work everyday

Remember people started getting good power from diesels in mid to late 90's. I had a 306 diesel when I was young. With a few hundred quid chucked at it for a t2 turbo a bit of fucking about with the fuel pump and a decent fmic I could leave my mates EG6 round the B roads. Diesel came on leaps and bounds with the introduction of direct injection and some run ridiculous figures now for not alot of money.

Great video, considering you wasn't excited about doing it you perked up towards the end lol

I’m surprised they are still that much!, I picked up a 66 plate one up 2 months ago with 42k on FSH and hpi clear for 12.2k

I had a had the same issue with my a3, someone had pained the rims black, went to change the tyres and the bots were fucked

Should have bought the vancouver wheels, 18" optional extra on the gtd and gt tsi

I have a mk7 gtd. Never seen an oil burner turn so many heads. They're only a map away from gti territory

My brother has one of these in White, it's a really nice car. I have the next spec down, a GT140. Mk6 golfs are great cars.

I thought you had forgotten about uploading this.👍

Still waiting for the next video on the Mk5 Ed30! Get it sorted, or else! 😒😉

You no you’ve made it when you drop a car of to get the wheels done and remember 3 months later to pick it up 🤭😂

You should map it. I’d like to see a video on that. I have a GTD mk7.5 and I’ll be interested to see it

Looks miles better back to stock wheels

Great stuff man,how the hell did you buy a 62 plate GTD with 40k that's delivery mileage on that!

Nice the MK6 petrol GTI/GTD & the MK6 R....I'm pretty fond of the MK5 GT-170's as well..nippy f*ckers..especially with the DPF/EGR delete....A carbon clean and tune up will see 225/240 bhp easily from a standard 170 bhp engine....On average..a 130,000 mile MK6 GTD can be found for under 6K..Under 5K if you're really lucky..and far better looking in 3DR....

GTD and TDI are quality cars, feels like tanks

Where was these wheels refurbed ? How much that costs roughly?

Maybe review a diesel focus st mk3 ive one in black running a pumaspeed stg1

Is wearing the seat belt across the arms, now a new thing?😅. Another good review. 👍🏾

Does binca sell many cars mate you have had a lot of those cars for a while

I had a 2008 Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI, was a nice motor but had no end of issues with it.... Mine was very similar to this, full leather, heated, xenon's, traction control, heated mirrors, run out model. However ... Had it two weeks and the turbo went 🤦‍♂️ it had 117000 miles, needed, turbo, Ariel, new Tyres, service, bulbs, mirrors, disks, pads, rear hub, coolent hose... Had enough of it, owned it for about 10 months then sold. Put me off Volkswagens tbh, also diesels are just boring ain't they? That dull engine tone reminds me of an old tractor 😂 Hopefully newer Volkswagens have improved especially the diesel ones.

You should show the dragy app saying that it's done 7,21secs

A 2005 polo gt tdi with a remap was quicker than a BMW 330ci and a corsa vxr. Back in 2007 I had one and it got some mad attention. NOW a remapped diesel isn't that exciting.

Naff naff back in the day

Nice motor them Calv

When doing 30k+ miles a year a diesel is still the best option.

Been curious about a mk6 GTD

No one has more torque than Calvin 😂😂😂

Hi there where did you get the wheels from I need some for my car as well

I had one, that’s 100% been mapped!

Just sold my vxr and got a golf mk7 GTD best thing I have done

a Beautiful car

I’d probs do a straight swap for that GTD against my stage two APRMk5 Golf GTI 😅 I need 60mpg in my life

OMG I nearly bought that exact car

How much was the diamond cut wheel refurb?

Golfs are not the most flamboyant car on the road, but it’s well built and classy and will not go out of date as quickly as more funky designs

Didnt get to see the refurbished wheels..

Forget the car, where did you get the NaffNaff Jacket?

Not first but still watching it and can't give a thumbs up until i have.....

I bet you money that this car has clocked mileage. Whether with a KM freezer or clocks changed.

This video should have been ‘Calvins view on diesels’ instead of a GTD review! Lol 😆

Never commented on yt before but you are 😂😂good vid

Hopefully its not had the Diesel Fix. 55mpg all day long its a no brainer, still dont get the petrol argument myself TDI all day everyday

This car will have launch control, but not much point in the wet. Also, if you took 60mph by the speedo you probably only got to 55mph at best.

Mate you have to source some better music, please ! Enjoy the vlogs but FFS son its a Golf TDI, not a shot of the sunset at Cafe Del Mar circa 95. Image appropriate music. Now of course you could be someone who views a diesel golf with same reverence as a balearic sunset then fair play. Otherwise thanks for sort of opening my eyes to the noughties hot hatch world.

11:53 For a moment there, I thought you were driving through Netherlands or Germany.

Got 2 friends with these both have never ending issues, mainly dpf and turbo issues

How does painting your wheels black save money ? I dont get it thanks

I think this car is most likely remapped...

You remapped a transit van 😂
