Can't go wrong with the VAG diesels. Best of all worlds, great economy, nice and smooth, very flexible and FAR more mid-range than the petrol 1.8T lumps.
My engine is the rotary pump based engine and it's great now it's been chipped (with cam, turbo and injectors all tweeked too ..... helps knowing the guys who build the fastest diesels in the VW cup!!). PD lumps (EUI FIE) are a little worse on fuel due to the changes made to meet Euro 4 emission standards, they are also a little less responsive down low, but they are much nicer to drive, almost petrol like!
