Can't decide between TDI and TFSI... help?

[Hellodave.]

That's interesting to hear, I would expect TFSI to be more lively, having 65hp more and no lag from turbocharger?

I thought the same, but it didn't feel it. A superbly quiet and refined cruiser, but not especially sporty. It's fairly brisk off the line but I expected more in gear acceleration.

It is lacking in torque compared to the TDI which might have something to do with it.

Petrol. Every day of the week get a petrol.

I've got the 3.0TFSI, mapped to 480BHP.

Wherever you live, if you are spending a lot of money buying a used diesel, make sure it is EU6 emissions certified or walk away.
