Reply With QuoteThanks for the input everyone. I have driven both and still cannot decide which one I prefer. I guess that I'll keep my eye on the second hand market and see what comes up when I've got some cash to buy one.

SubscriberI'd go for the Tdi, definitely. Will save you big bucks in fuel over the years. If you are buying a '97 model the cambelt should have been changed anyway and the improved one been fitted (check for that). The Tdi is by no means slow (compared to a SII anyway), and who needs race cars on Australian roads anyway??? :wink:

There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
And there are people who drive Discovery.

V8's are REAL cheap at the moment - TDI's still command good money.

Hi Emo, I too went through the same soul searching as you are doing at the moment. I came up with all the same pro's and con's that you have and eventually brought a tdi. I have only had it since sept'03 so I cant tell you much about long term ownership suffice to say I agree with everyone else's opinions.
regards
Vic.
