Cannot understand why Australia is so flooded with diesel passenger vehicles, let alone small capacity diesel vehicles?? Are we Aussies that easily led by the dealers? When pretty much every other modern country on earth is moving away from diesel, we seem to be taking to diesel cars like ducks to water!  |
Those diesel Golfs and similar are actually pretty good to drive , high torque at low revs gives them that effortless feel of a larger capacity engine.
I prefer 2.0 L diesel Golf compared to 1.2L turbo petrol . 2.0 GTI or R is better again.
