If you do alot of miles, get the diesel,
If not, there is more fun to be had, more cheaply from the petrol.

Just my two pence.

If i didnt do like a gazillion million miles I'd have the petrol. But saying that im more than happy with mine, 3 years and still going.

Narrow country lanes mostly. Sometimes single track farm lanes.

Loving my new Ibiza Cupra TDI. Feels very quick and makes overtaking a breeze and effortless. However I still love jumping into my Petrol turbo scooby for a high revving blast

I have an addiction to modifying so the Cupra may end up having some extra power at some point.

i personally think if you going to keep it standard go for a petrol, if your going to just re-map it go for the diesel and if your going to mod it untill it just wont go any faster *cough* Rash *cough* then go for petrol. its funny really i personally prefer petrol's i hate having to change gear at 5000rpm even though my car still feels like it wants to go some more it just stops lol but at the same time the diesel in my opinion is more practical and when the torque kicks in things like overtaking become very easy. I race my brother steve in his tuned 1.8t which is running somewhere between 240bhp and 260bhp depending on rollers i.e. quickfit or not haha!! and to be honest from standing he beats me but in driving acceleration my car does pull quite a bit on him.

wouldnt say mine cant go any more
