    Diesel kicks unleaded out of the park

    2.0TDi Golf V Sportline DSG Leather - only ever run on BP ULS diesel 45000km, spent total $3400 on fuel - avg 6.4l/100k around town, now <5l/100k on open road (110kmh)

    Little story about WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE DIESEL

    Recent high-sport run through the sunshine coast hinterland with good friend in re-chipped GTI

    He couldn't get away from me other than initially off the line - kept the heat on his tail big time - 250km (avg speed 108kmh) later I had used 6.6 litres/100km and he had used 15 litres/100km.... and mine is stock standard!!

    Comparison ride in each others cars - gotta say the comfort levels in Sportline leather sport seats (std) better than GTI cloth sports - and the suspension more compliant - handling amazingly comparable in real world enthusiastic driving

    On the track, no doubt the GTI is a better track car BUT that is not where we normally drive - HE was shocked with his first TDi experience

    The POINT - once you get used to the slightly different driving characteristics of the TDI (DSG compulsory!!) you will never drive anything else again.... torque, accelleration, handling and all with economy and a little more engine noise - the sound is the money landing back in your wallet!!
