That’s not quite correct actually. Take for example the Golf GT Sport TDI that I test drove yesterday (beautiful car and bloody quick for an oiler). VW want $2500 more for the diesel version, and when you consider that the petrol version is both turbo charged and supercharged, it makes it even harder to swallow. I mean surely the diesel donk can’t cost more to produce than the incredibly high tech twin charger?
Still, if I do get one, I’ll go the diesel option as it’s still considerably better on juice and remaps to 430 Nm! Also, the DSG box comes at a $2300 premium over the 6 speed manual (it’s very impressive for an auto too).
