why not a bora? cheaper than golf to buy cheaper to insure same handleing and with a few mods can look just as good


they are really nice cars but i don't think they are very sporty tbh

Correct. And for £5k you'll struggle to find a decent one. The best Corsa diesel you'll get is the 1.7DTi engine, which can be remapped. Steinmetz do one

A mapped Golf GTTDI would give alot of performance cars a run for there money.

Same goes for the Polo, Passat etc.

I'd rather have a sporty quick diesel than a Corsa tbh.


I assume your not talking about his corsa?

tuning boxes on the 1.7 cdti see about 125ish bhp and give 1.8 runs for their money

iirc GSi_16v didn't see a great deal of BHP, but quite an increase in torque.

Golf GT TDI 150 then get a revo chip to take it to 190bhp!

I raced one a while back in my Civic 1.6 VTI VTEC. I kept up with it sort of, but the golf tdis are so torquey it left me in the end

anything small with a 1.9 PD engine will be quick.

wooly, pop round one day and have a go in the polo if you like, see what you think of it.

Fair enough. 1.3's are good prices now, but not normally good specs. I.e. SXi and SXi+ are still pricey.
