Yeah especially those overstressed 150bhp vw lumps....wow...

1.8 is going to handle better. That's about it. I'd own neither xs or hdi tbh.
XSi every time, obviously Wink

180 if you buy the right one. Tongue Much more reliable than the PDs as well lol.

Can't believe your advice is to go for the most pointless engine in the 306, speed of a 1.8 with the economy and weight of a gti6. lol
