[Swearwolf]

I had a Mk4 1.9 GT TDI PD130, and it was awesome. Economic, fairly quick and dead boosty & tourquey. Then I got a bora with the same engine and half the mileage and insurance is £1100 cheaper. :P

If you're looking for cheaper then they do the Mk3 Golf TD which is rather excellent too.

Now that you mention it, are there even any advantages to having a petty any more? Pretty crazy that tbh.

[Swearwolf]

to be fair my insurance is same on a 1.4 petrol as a 1.9 diesel so i dont think i'd go less than 1.9 in a diesel

[tdi]

diesels are great and i love them, but i still really want a petrol eventually. better throttle response, sound better, smoother, etc but also less economic.. a few years though :P

Actually, my dad had an 04 Focus with the 1.8 115bhp diesel and it was absolutely rapid. Real driver's car.

Wolf in sheep's clothing it was.

Kinda like this:
