i had a 306 hdi it was about 90 bhp good for a 1st car but....... pleased it went. yeah you could overtake but you had to really be ready for it !! the golf is maby completly diferent but it is heavyer

personaly i wouldn't have anything less than a 150 now i have one ! you just get so used with it  :grin:

One of the guy's at work has a Bora TDI 90 that he's had remapped to about 130, so now it's definately nippier. Yes, they're slow out of the box, but with a remap they're up to a PD130 (in standard form).

its not too bad. excellent fuel economy but alittle on the slow side. if you want a speed machine then it aint for you. but if u want mpg then its sh!t hot. my opinion get a 90 bhp tdi and a motorbike. Best of both worlds then!! :smiley:
