GTD good for me?
Discussion
Hi all, new to the forum but I'm considering a Golf GTD as my next car. I only work 4-4.5 miles from home (hour walk), with no motorways between. I also drive 160 each way (320 total) on the weekend every 2-3 weeks (sometimes 4 weeks between trips). Would my monthly/bi-monthly 3 hour motorway blast be enough to keep the DPF for my short journeys to and from work?
Thanks for all the replies guys! Under my current car and current driving habits (I do a decent amount of driving on the weekends), I've done 13,000 miles in the past 9 months of ownership. I'll probably hit 15,000 by the 12 month mark. The petrol is killing me at the moment, hence the looking into a diesel.
Thanks again guys!
So at the moment it looks almost 50/50 of whether or not a diesel would do me good. I just love that GTD! If a regen were to occur on the way to work, I'd have to stop it when I arrive as I won't have time to finish it. That being said I wouldn't mind taking it for a 15 minute drive on the motorway to clear it. Would that be enough do you think?
