Rallye downsides....you have to wind down the windows!!
And don't get any leather. 
GTI6 downsides - Fuel, insurance, cambelt intervals
HDi downsides - Slow as standard (slight improvement stage 1), crank pulleys, lift pumps. Despite the extra sensors/electronics, they don't fail nearly as often as people make out!!
XUD downsides - Poor cooling leading to headgasket issues, blowing rods, slow as standard, worse mpg than hdi (but can run veg with a Bosch)
