Hiya guys,
This is my first post so sorry for the newbie questions. Right my situation is that I travel a lot of miles to and from work and therefore have decided to go diesel. I sold my car (honda civic vti) last weekend and now need to get a more economical car. Although I want it to be economical I would still like a bit of umph when you put the foot down and that is how I came across the golf gt tdi.
From what I have read on this forum I am probably not going to get a decent 130 version but might be able to get the 110. Last weekend I went and had a look at a gt tdi 115 (X Reg) that was very nice. However I was surprised when I didn't feel any torque above 3k revs. Is this normal? The same day I went to test drive Seat Leon 110 (Y Reg) and got a much better response from the engine.
I want to go and have a look at a couple of cars this weekend and was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to what to look for etc.
I am based in north london and as the topic says I have about 5k to spend. Might be able to stretch to 5.5k.
I look forward to your responses.
EDIT:- On another note, what are the differences, other than engine, on the different models (if any)?
