Thank you,

I have no experience of audi but i did test drive a mk4 golf 130 bhp manual 6 speed. It felt immense.

so there's my vote.

What about the Skoda Octavia.

Hi there,
I drive a Mark 4 130 GT TDI. Best VW I have owned. Powerful, fast (if you want it to be), economical and having had it from new can say that it's really economical to drive. Take each one for decent trial before making your mind up. Cheers.

Love my 03 Bora TDI PD130. Unbelievably quick and ridiculously economical. Total no brainer IMHO.

Hi
Go for 130bhp Tdi Golf................
If it was passat against A4.........
I'd say A4 all day long...............
But Golf tops A3 all day long......
Thats my opion and Ive driven both at great length....
Cheers

I have a mk4 golf v6 4motion, it's the best car i have ever driven/had it is fast when you want it to be and good to drive around town. however i have gone up against a few Gt tdi's and they are quick. i'm thinking about changing to diesel cause day to day driving they perform just as well.
