The GTI used to be the drivers car, now its more of a daily that also has a bit of go when you put your foot down.
A GTD would be a more suitable daily in that case imho/
The GTD sounds like a good car, but not in the same league performance wise as the GTI imo. The GTI is still the bench mark hot hatch. If you want a diesel with some grunt though, sure.

The R is obviously superior to the GTI, however not everyone wants or has $60k+ to throw at a new car. Different price brackets.
