diesel bora tdi (170bhp) day to day for me, makes me appreciate my xr2 a lot more.
it pulls well though, so not even disappointing on performance. just the sound of "a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin" doesn't sound sporty at all.
better economy on fuel, even though i don't do mega miles, it's nice when i go out and get some on the clock, also holds it's value better than a petrol.
i can always take the xr2 out though, raw power and a real drivers car IMO.
