cheers rob, im guessing theyre similar engines in the others?
il avoid the 90 105, ideally i want the 130 as its a nice figure as standard and even nicer onced mapped

yeah, the engines are the same throughout the different makes, bar the 150 engine, which apparently is prone to turbo problems, so the 130 is the best...

definitely, an A3/Golf/Leon/whatever would be much better, you'd actually not get bored of driving a tin box...

My advice would be to drive each, and decide which looks best and feels best inside

would a remap cuase the mpg to go down on a diesel?
just cos the main thing the diesel is good for over a petrol is that extra bit more miles you get, so why waste it.
