I've been looking at buying a turbo Diesel MkV for a while now but I could never quite find the spec I wanted (since they dropped the sportline) but you know I only just now realised the GT comes out in TDi also, and not just any Tdi a 125kw - 350nm TDI.

Does anyone know how much better this version is,
Hi, I'm a newbie too and have recently ordered a GT Sport Tdi. Its expected to arrive late December or early January. I've driven both the standard 2.0 TDi and the GT Sport TDi. Performance wise the GT sport is definately faster and but not to the point where someone like my wife would tell the difference. I felt the extra power but the main reasons why I chose it over the standard is that it looks much better, the front bar is more like the GTi and it comes standard with 17" BBS wheels and all the colour coding that I couldn't get in a comfortline .
The comfortline just looked a little too plain for me and the sportsline was no longer available.
The car sat lower than the standard Tdi too and was noticably harder in terms of ride.
