Dont listen to the idoits saying get a diesel. Its a GTI ffs. 1.8T is the ONLY engine to get in a MK4.

Whatever you do dont get the 2.0 as its a god awful engine.


Pmsl, i can't seem to get hold of a 1.8T in my area at the mo but i put those engines sizes up as there the most common in my area and theres a few (sorry for swearing) diesels.

At today's fuel prices I think diesel wins in any situation.

Well I'd put the 130d in 3rd equal. Actually the 3.2 is only worth considering if you dont care about fuel costs. You can gety some pretty decent other makes of car for the price too.
