Considering an 07 / 08 Mk 5 GTI, or one of the diesels.

Thing is there's a 1.9 or a 2.0 diesel - which is best ?
Is the 170 GT Diesel better than the GTI in the real world ?
Is the GTI worth a punt, i'd be looking at getting one with around 50K on the clock.
What milage should each engine do ?

Cheers Guys.

Go for the 2.0 gttdi andy they are the bollocks and the resale value is higher than on the gti which I think is a bit Chav.
If you want the gti look then you can always change the grill and front bumper.
The gti will do average 35 mpg and the tdi 45 on average ive had an early version and the diesel is a better drive plus you really feel the turbo in them a good remap will see it at 190bhp to 200bhp but it's the torque that wins it on the diesel for me
