Probably about as confused as we are about the question!
You can't compare it on engine size...as the GTi6 is closest but it'd eat a standard, or even stage 1, TD lol.
Technically I was right, the 1.6 and 1.9 diesel are equivalent 'midrange' engines for bhp. 1.8 and 2.0 petrols were essentially 'sport' versions. And a 1.8 is MUCH nicer to drive than an XUD lol, so they can't be compared, 1.8 does need a few more horses....or a few more MPGs though lol.
End of the day, depends what you want from the car as to which engine is better for you.....
