Has any one here driven/considered a quick diesel? I know AntFr used to have a VAG diesel, i was looking casualy at golf 140/170 tdi's? Or a bmw 120d? Its not a mini i know and will be certainly more dull but will they feel slow after my (standard) s?

Thoughts and comments appreciated

I'm having the same problem but I don't want to change. My dad was looking at 1 series (but he wouldn't buy a diesel) as he's changing his car around easter time, so I was doing a bit of research for the tax of the petrols;

116i- £110
118i- £120
120i- £140

The fuel economy seems to be good on the petrols from 35-40MPG. Hope this helps
