If you wanted to buy a VW diesel this would have to be it.

BUT ....

It is only $2500 cheaper than the GTi and misses out on the following:

Alarm system
Red Brake Calipers (very important)
Gti look including side skirts
Tyre pressure sensor
Carpet mats
6 disc CD changer
Amplified (250W) Audio system with 10 speakers
Aluminium pedals
GTI seats (better than sports seats)
Flat bottomed GTI steering wheel
GTI Sport suspension

The combined value of which surely must add up to much more than only $2500.

Personally I'd buy the GTi instead.....

ALSO....

have 2 friends with Sportline TDi's and they struggle to beat 8l/100km in their daily commute. Another friend with a light foot in his DSG GTi does the same .......

Hmm....you could always put the $2,500 saved into a flash tune and a replacement audio system which includes iPod and Bluetooth phone, with probably enough change left over for caliper paint
