Priced too closely to the GTi? Not much demand for performance diesels?

Don't know - It wasn't a blue one from St.H was it?

Four wheel drive diesel makes me think of a heavy engine, heavy drive train (poor fuel consumption) and lardy handling - maybe i'm not alone! :smug: :wink:

Drove like the GT 170 tdi with no wheel spin and better grip on wet roundabouts.Its basically a front wheel drive untill the rear needs traction,I have GTI 30 on order but it still impressed me.

Doc Its silver from Glasgow.

cheers
