What Would ????

[WiseyVTR]

right im thinking about getting a new car as some of you will know.

im got it down to a golf or an audi a3 :p but dont know what to get
the 1.8T or a 1.9tdi :panic:

for a a 150/130 tdi golf its nearly £500 cheaper to insure than a 1.8T GTI but the 0-60 etc or the same +/- .0s :geek:

but this is what i want to know the most what would win a 1/4mile a 1.8T golf or a TDI golf both with lets say 180 bhp each ( because i heard you can get a tdi to about 180 just with a re-map:oops:)


so what do you think would win ?

[bullit]

would be very close either way. diesel would be good. or the petrol mapped

[Mr_X]

a3 1.8t all the way, what yr are you thinking?

[WiseyVTR]

a3 1.8t all the way, what yr are you thinking?


the older ones a 1999-2000 one but like the golfs more

im just prefer the badge tbh, even tho theyre similar.
so what are you saying? the 0-60 times are the same for the petrol and diesel?
the diesel should be cheaper to run too right.

Wouldn't be much in it. Diesel for economy, petrol for performace IMO...

what are you going on about

[jdl1603]

corners and fun, pretty much what i said before.

dont you agree?

[jdl1603]

sorry cant believe i mentioned golf's and fun in one sentance.lol.

[bullit]

corners and fun, pretty much what i said before.

dont you agree?

i aggree, but golfs and audis can go round corners too

[JC-Furio]

i aggree, but golfs and audis can go round corners too

but apparently it's not fun to go around them in a golf.

[jdl1603]

anyway i think diesel would have the edge on the drag strip, mainly because of the torque it would be high and as a result would pull strong when turbo is spinning---more so than the petrol.

[davew]

wouls go for the golf 1.8t myself.

saw a silver one earlier looked very nice tbh

[jdl1603]

yeah i would go for 1.8 turbo......hate diesel noise

[WiseyVTR]

sorry but cant get my head around this: why do you want a golf or an a3 they just do not like corners...........wheres the fun in that?????

tbh mate i dont really know what i want just now :panic: i like the look of the golfs etc but they are more "cruising " cars.
i have also been thinking of getting a toyota starlet gt turbo they dont look the best but their fast and can be made to handle well and a civic vti 1.6 the hatchback one .
Have been looking at these cars for a while but theres not many of them about within the distance im willing to travel:homme: and i dont want a vts or 106 because i have had a saxo and want something different.

[saxo_asa]

cant comment on a golf, never driven one..had an a3 and theyre nice motors but just really boring to drive..unless you get the S3 then youre laughing

[laura_g]

audis are well nice my mate has a 1.8 t but then again golfs are awesome cars aswell diesels tend to keep there value alot more though tbh

[Tupps]

diesel - map - win

[saxo_asa]

diesel-noise-lose

[Zach]

That is the noise of economy :D

[Jazz]

did you work that out by yourself :P

It took months of careful calculations and experimenting to work it out actually. ;)
