So if you own a 1.9 TDI, let us know what you think and would you recommend it?

Prolly the slowest diesel engine in the world! The VAG TDi engines are hot ****e by comparrison, huge tourque and exellent economy. You'll have the pleasure of embarrassing Honda Civic boyos on the open road when overtaking*.

*Not that I approve of wreckless use of diesel power naturally!
