Hi

With the Golf in its 6th iteration and with a Hot performance diesal around the corner promising over 200bhp, it would be interesting to find out what people consider as the best of the best diesal Golf of the M4 & Mk5's The cars must be standard factor spec.

Here are the contenders

Mk4 Golf Tdi 110bhp
Mk4 Golf Tdi 115bhp 6 speed
Mk4 Golf Tdi 130bhp 6 speed
Mk4 Golf Tdi 150bhp 6 speed

Mk5 Golf Tdi 140bhp 6 speed/DSG
Mk5 Golf Tdi 170bhp 6 speed/DSG

Interestingly enough does the DSG trnasmission with the paddle shift improve the sporting pretentions and performance of the car?

Has anyone roll tested theirs - as i heard that manufacturer claoimed outputs are conservative and the actual outputs are a bit higher - can onyone verify this?

Any other suggestions - would be welcome

regards
