Everything about a GTD and R estate makes sense and my head completely buys into one. Why then do I not want to buy one? it's not the looks, I think they look great, it just doesn't seem quite right. I think after owning Golfs in every guise since 1982 all my instincts just say that hot Golfs should be in a hatchback sized packet.
Give me another couple of years and I'll be buying one, it took me 10 years to get used to the idea of a 5 door GTi!
