"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?"

The people I bought my '87 Wyncro Westy from have a 2002 VW TDI Golf. They
love it. Say it drives like a dream. Quick, slot-car handling, zippy.
Regarding your Westy: give more information about it. I have 2 friends
looking for them right now so I'm "pushing" info in their direction.
