Basically, besides the obvious body differences, the GTI has stiffer suspension, and bigger brakes than the base gulf. Since the turbocharged engine and larger tires are available on the gulf - I do not consider them a big difference. (although the GTI engine has some 'tweaks')
What's confusing about the Golf/GTI disctinction is the level of overlap and redundancy. A TDI Golf is nearly identically priced to a similarly optioned GTI. Both lines now top out at about $30,000. The only fundamental difference between the two lines is the availability of a couple of fairly cheap trims for the Golf.
Imagine if Honda offered two entirely separate, high-quantity lines of Civics with substantially overlapping pricing and entirely different trim lineups. It just seems to make the process all the more confusing (or maybe just for me).

Simple as that.
- You accidentally fueled with gasoline instead of diesel
- The station where you've been buying diesel has fuel with insufficient lubricity
If either of those are the case, then your car is going to go in for an expensive repair as the entire fuel system will need to be replaced. If the issue is low-grade diesel, your dealership might pick up the tab, however, if gasoline is in the tank be prepared for a repair upwards of $8,000.
Thanks a lot!!!
