I've driven both in a test drive situation, they both have good power but I only did a suburban drive around the streets on the Sunny Coast. I bought the TDI, but I was always going that way. I've passed road trains on a trip back from Victoria when it was 5 weeks old and the throttle felt like it had a second stage that kicked in and I was quickly up to 140+ before the head of the truck passed us.
There is a different note in the engine T5 vs V6 but my brother in laws Touareg is the V6 TDI and that note is different again from the petrol V6. Cabin noise was not something I picked up on as it was quiet compared to my old Discovery TDI (everything seems quiet).
The only test as mentioned before is to drive them back to back. My tests were about two months apart so not really a great comparison.
