Well I paid £720ish this year for my 1.8 Driver mk2 and I kind of want to sell that at the end of the year as it's a super low milage car and I'll be depreciating it's value if I drive it for too long!
I'm actually after a mk4 with leather interior so I'm thinking if I wanted a good condition PD150 with leather, etc. I'm going to have to fork out alot! My maximum to spend is about 5500 at the very max.
If someone can give me average MPG figures for the 1.8t I'll work out how much I'd save, etc.

So it seems although the 1.8t seems to be better in alot of people's eyes and faster, the PD150 has oodles of torque. What's so the advantages/values of having a load of torque but not as much bhp? Only cars I've driven have been my 1.4 Seat Ibiza and my 1.8 Driver mk2 golf so I wouldn't know!
I'm a bit weary about going to test drive some as I have visions of being told to f*** off when they see a 19 year old wanting to try a 150bhp car out.. But it's worth a try!
