..I'm extremely happy with my GTD. I was always sceptical of diesel cars but am a true convert now..
This ^. I'd never even remotely considered diesel until test driving a GTD, and almost ended up buying one. I just don't do the mileage to warrant the vehicle, in fact I'd end up with issues because of the small trips I make. If circumstances changed and I was on the road a lot more then the GTD would be a prime candidate.
Although I wouldn't be averse to the Merc C Class, but different cars and class, so not comparing apples with apples.

Well, add me to the list of GTD fans. After five years in a Mk5 103TDI Sportline DSG (the first diesel, and the first automatic I'd ever owned), I moved to an Mk6 GTD DSG in December 2010. Neither has had any issues at all, and I rave about both cars to anyone silly enough to ask me what I think.
Obviously some owners don't have the same good experience that I've had, but I still think there's more happy than sad owners out there.

I have been reading this thread with disappointment. I was considering trading my 6R Polo TDI in on a 110 TDI, but then thinking I may as well wait for the GTD given that with a few options the 110 TDI was heading north of $45k; and given that the GTD is most likely to get the 8" Discover Navigation Pro rather than the 5.8" Discover Navigation. The Polo TDI was my first adventure in diesel power and I am really impressed, apart from the looming DPF replacement cost in the future. Having driven the TSI and TDI Mk7, I felt the TDI blew the TSI away in terms of torque (As expected) but also in speed (Even though the technical data tells me I'm wrong). I'd definitely be interested in the GTD if VW Australia decides to import it.

Just spoke to my sales person at my local dealer and she said that VW Australia had sent her an email that there will be a Golf 7 GTD early 2014.... finger crossed!!!

Excellent news (and follows rollout of Oz MK6 GTD which was a good 12-18mths post GTI as I recall). I'm likely to switch as will be doing more k's and will have likely have got the GTI out of my system in 2 years when the lease is up

And what have i been saying all along? Im so glad that the GTD will be here before this time next year. VW Australia actaully got two of them in RHD now about a month back, trying to figure out the spec...
