Love the scooby doo test.

Interesting comparison but I don't see how getting one person (especially a fashion model) to make a comparison on 2 cars like they did could possibly be taken that seriously. As far as the ride being quieter, they're running different tyres as well, I would be interested to see how they go side by side with performance though. When it's all said and done it's only a matter of taste anyway, my personal preference is still the MK V and not just because I own one

I thought the test was pretty clever, and no real suprises. Russ the current 125kw would walk the 103 common rail in a drag, but the new active suspension sounds pretty flash for the curves! I'm not aware of a higher rated production diesel engine as yet???

Hey Greg, I thought it may have been a GTD as the guy refers to them both as GT TDI's, obviously like the fashion model he only knows what's written on the idiot card.

Undoubtably the UK will get them before us, but from what I've read the 125 common rail hasn't hit actual production as yet. It is planned though!

Is that the twin turbo model or is that just an idea VW are toying with on paper ?

the gt in the uk is only a specification of trim, rather than motor designation in australia. so they're actually both 103kw diesels. except the mk6 runs common rail injection.

125kW GTD has been confirmed.

Russ at this stage it's a single turbo 125kw as in the link above, but there is a possibility of a twin turbo beastie. Guess what the engineers hhave come up with, and what global profits allow remains to be seen.

Oh and the UK have had the 170hp GT diesel available for some years now, certainly longer than Aus.

It'll be interesting to see how this new 125kw CR donk is received. Almost identical specs to the current engine but with significantly better economy... More car like sound...
