Hello All,

I've been looking around for a diesel car for awhile now and finally narrowed my choice down to either the Golf 2.0 GT TDI or the BMW 1 series 118D or 120D (pre face lift models).

My budget is around £8000 and i travel about 30000 miles per year. The most important features to me are:

1. Economy
2. Fun to drive
3. Big enough to fit 4 adults and a baby pram in the boot.
4. Resale value

I have driven both models and they are both great cars, even though the power delivery is quite different on them.

Maybe some answers will be a little biased on this forum, but i would apprieciate any of your views.

Many thanks
