Golf GTE

I am starting to think about my next company car.

Initially I thought about a GTD as a couple of guys at work have them and are very pleased with them, but looking into it a bit more I saw the GTE. Performance pretty much as per the GTD, but £60 a month company car tax compared to £200 for the GTD. The reviews say it's slightly less sporting to drive, but to be honest I could probably live with that. It seems like a no brainier, what am I missing?

Wouldn't the fact that the weight is low down offset the effect?

Perfect for those who do a lot of town driving, but want something practical yet reasonably sprightly for longer trips too?

This is what I was thinking.

Does the GTD really have that much performance? GTE is pretty quick for a 45 mpg car

They look similar, on paper at least.
