I didn't get on enough with the 330D - horrible surge when accelerating, hopefully the extra turbo would resolve that!mike-p wrote:I have my 170GT as my mileage muncher and my Boxster as the weekend and track car.
If I had to have only one car to do it all it would have to be a BMW 335D convertible (if they made them), but it would be too much of a compromise.
Personally I'm happy with the 2 I have.
The 14.Tsi is a fantastic car for a 1.4 engine, but it's not an alternative to either the 170GT or the 2.0Tsi for differing reasons of course.
You have a good combo, though i've always been a Lotus fan over Porsche! Given what you use the cars for, i'd have picked the 170GT also.... but for just one Scirocco for the moment, given i couldn't justify the extra tax of the 2.0 or the R, the 1.4 was far and away the best one i tried.
