Subject:VW's Diesel vs. Gas
From:Matthew Libby
Date:Sun, 3 Nov 2002 12:13:19 -0500

Im looking to buy a VW golf (2003), and cant decide between the TDI (diesel) or the gas.  Im torn.  The diesel is 2k more than the gas and offers only 90hp compared to 115hp in the gas.  However, it offers 20ftlbs more torque and almost 50mpg!  Can anyone tell me anything about these two engines, reliability, longevity, maintainence, perfomance...

PS- im selling my westy to pay for this, any buyers?
