Hi there..

2 of my mates have a golf.... ones a 1.9 TDI 150BHP Diesel, 3 door and the other is a GTi 1.8T150BHP 5 Door MK4...

On paper the figures are the same.. however.. MPG.. the diesel helps on the cash flow and i think the diesel is the better buy....

Yes the TDI is more cash.. but i think you get a better deal in the long run with the massive Torque comapred to the petrol version..

The best way is to get to your local VW and take a 1.8T 150 out for a run and start comparing..

At the end of the day its what "YOU" are happy with as its your cash... as long as you feel you have made the right choice alls well!!

I could provide you with loads of fact and figures comparing the 2, however i feel your best trying both and go with the feel...


Let us know how you get on..
