+1 GTI 2.0 lump is more reliable than the 1.4 TSI. I owned a Polo GTI 6R with the 1.4 TSI (180) from new and rejected it after 6 months as the piston rings needed replacing.

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

New-New cars are a Mug's game, if you're coming from a GTI get a second hand GTI so you won't be disapointed.

Mug!

I do agree with this thread! Having the benefit of a 140ps TDI and a GTI on my drive i can compare them back to back. in real life terms the TDI has a kick in city and motorway driving! dont get me wrong the GTI for is better suited for me but the 140TDI torque makes it a fun car to drive around in.

I cant comment on the GTD as i havent had the pleasure of driving it!

I would say that if u want a car with low running costs and which you can have a shove of mid range acceleration then i would go for one of the TDI's

If you want one that u have to make scream to get the surge of excitement then i would go GTI.

Either way you cant go wrong with which every one you pick at they all have a great character which you wont get with any other model!
