Cars,

1968 XT 3.6l petrol 99KW
1983 1.3 laser ??
1998 el 4.1 Fairmont 157KW boat!
2001 3.0 Honda Accord 147 KW not so much boat
2008 2.0 TDI GT Sport fusee (check your french!)

Best car I've ever had / driven including my brother's 2007 FPV GT.

Torque is great

great economy, great performance.

Used in older spring-powered mechanical watches and clocks, a fusee is a cone-shaped pulley with a spiral groove around it, wound with a cord or chain which is attached to the mainspring barrel.

You guys are awesome! thanks everyone for your feedback.

I think the Golf TDI is still the winner.... so just have to sell my car before i get my first VW & diesel car!

I have test driven the Golf TDI already and loved it!
Is there much difference between the TDI golf and TDI Jetta fuel consumption? I have done some research but its always better to ask owners then what vw have quoted the consumption to be in the best possible scenario.

Rams, Welcome and remember it also depend on what sort of driving you do. We do about half & half and recently on a country run returned 5.2l/100 on a 697klm round trip in the DSG Jetta TDi. We are currently averaging 6 in the city (half freeway, half suburbia) Also, dont look at the price of fuel. Sure diesel is higher, but it costs us just under 10c per klm with diesel @ $1.60 (that's 16klm per litre).

A diesel is different. You are much more a part of the motoring experince. You can hear (and sometimes even smell) the engine. You notice when it's working hard and when it's just coasting on torque - and it challenges you to improve your driving skills to get the most from it.

My 2.0 TDI Jetta is the most fun I've had on (modern) wheels for a very long time.

Very nicely put.

I'd have to agree that this little "hairdresser" car is a blast, and I just adore driving it. Like 'Riley so aptly points out, it "feels" like a real drivers car to me. Giddyup!

Mate, compared to the cars we both used to drive....not quite as "tough"
