Yeah, but was it a stocK LCR etc etc. Its all a bit subjective really, isnt it... To the opening poster - its a bit of an open question really. What are your expectations? What have you come from? Have you got money to burn on mods etc ? If you just want a general answer, then YES. Becuase we love SEAT here

True
a tuned tdi will surprise even a tuned lcr. obviously a seriously tuned lcr will walk away from a tuned tdi, at the end of the day it's all about how much you want to spend. either way they'll both be money pits.
a standard tdi is quick enough. a tuned tdi is even quicker if you're thinking of keeping it standard, i'd get the LCR, as the tdi isn't exactly quiet

The FR TDi 150 ARL engine is superb until it eats its camshaft at circa 70k - 120k miles and costs you £1k+ in repairs.
I wouldn't have one in a gift but each to their own.

Problem being is to remap the tdi it needs a decent clutch first
Then it all starts to be a serious money pit
As above, loads out there seem to have engine trouble
Touch wood mines is nice and quiet, just turned 48k and ive had the car since 41k, Ive actually serviced the car twice myself and it got fresh oil from dealer when i bought it but not knowing what they used etc i did it 2 days later with my own (Happier when ive personally serviced my own car) lol

Thanks for advice guys!
The reason why am thinking of getting tdi is because its more chepaer to insure and also cheaper in running the car than the lcr and plus am a young driver so insurance is quite high for me!
I would defos be getting it remaped, i know i have to change the cluth but would i need to do anything else?
I have seen a few going for about 6500 to about 7000 whats the best price to pay for a decent one?

I have a FR TDI mate (well its the missus) and go well if a bit noisy compared to the 1.9 diesel engine (2.0 in the FR). Decent on juice (dont expect it to be doing 70 mpg especially if your gunning it!).
Ride is VERY harsh and if your gonna buy one first thing is change the suspension!
Overall they are plenty quick enough standard for most and very well spec'd for the money compared to the golf and much better looking if you ask me.
