dont do it unless your driving hundreds of miles a week, petrols and desiels both are pretty much the same financially in the end

Care to work that out for us then?? 

You only got to look at the amount of threads in the mk4 section to see what costs the most financially 

To answer the OP though; youll be hard pressed to find a car with such a good spec as yours

its only what i heard  something to do with the cost of running a TDI to a GTi (standard models) you'd get more for your money with petrols in shorter distances unless your doing massive commutes? where then the TDi would come into its own, its never made much sense to me as if you get good MPG on a long trip then surely shorter trips would be better? 

and with the amount of threads we have its purely because VW designed a brilliant motor which is naff at the same time and lets face it, the majority of the mk4 golfs here are now better than they were when first brought, my PO

basically it runs rich. i do lets say 250km per week... so i guess i wont get any benefit out of a TDI if i found the problem of running rich.

Keep it, but sell me your headlights

Defo keep the gti mate unles your up and down the motorway

Keep the petrol bro - I mean - hell, Im running a nicely modified mk4 gti and still getting 36 -38 mpg on motorway run and 26 -28 round town if i try hard!

coming from a supercharged mk2 gti - I can REALLY tell the difference and I'm loving it... Deisel will be good fi yuor traveling hundreds of miles but round town... stick with her!

This only applies to cars where the premium cost of buying a diesel needs to be offset against a petrol. If you are buying a car that has had that initial cost offset already (ie an old car that costs essentially the same to buy as  a petrol), then it's irrelevent.

So the bonus of buying an old diesel, it will always be cheaper to run than a petrol per mile driven.
The downside is twofold. You have to drive a diesel, and it costs sh!t loads when it breaks.
