New Dubber
Hi everyone, I've loved VW since I was in year 7 at school. I remember going to the library most days and reading a book about the golf gti, I was obsessed. Anyway I currently own a Hardtop Green NB mx5 and SX Corolla with a 4age engine. Both are great cars but I'm trying to get rid of the mx5 atm. I am a third year uni student studying business and commute on the highway a fair bit and travel above average distances weekly. The 2 cars I have are not exactly what I would call luxury or torquey so I have been increasingly attracted to a manual mk5 golf diesel. I was initially attracted to a 2.0tdi because of the dohc 16v design and more oomph they offer. I am hearing mixed reviews about the reliability of these though, some say they have severe problems but others say this only affects a few. The 1.9 TDI, whilst has less power is apparently better of fuel and more reliable. There is a 2005 mk5 1.9tdi 6 speed manual near me, with 165,000kms and I was wondering if these have enough get up and go to be used daily. I have never owned a diesel and am quite turned on by the torque but I know the tall gearing would have an equalising effect. Anyway, would be keen to know your thoughts or point me in the right direction! Zac
