Hi all,
I have been looking around the web trying to figure out what the story with the petrol TSI engine and the TDI on these golfs are. I am coming at this from point of view of owning civic type-R but change in job will probabley mean using car more for long motorway commute rather than kicks so comfort, economy and quiet cabin is what i want...that said I'd like still to have some fun. I was hoping someone might have tried the tsi engines and the 2 litre TDI's and could tell me if there is turbo lag with diesel (any at all...as i hate this) or just nice pull. Equally the TSI sounds like perfect compromise and is cheaper to buy. 170 PS sounds good. Going to look at cars tomorrow so any hints would be nice.
