cheeky!
No point discussing if a tdi is faster than a tfsi!!! Because plainly it is not. Its like comparing a harley and a sportsbike. Sportsbikes are clearly quicker but just because you dont have to change down gears in a harley to access the torque does not make it better?!
I tried the fr tdi and enjoyed the big dollop of torque when the revs are right, i just prefer the linear feel of stomping on the accelerater in 4th at 60 and accelerating
at the same rate all the way up to 100+ without changing gear. 'sufing' the torque in a diesel in wet weather can be quite good fun, if a bit dodgey with the traction control turned off.
I dont want a quiet car infact i wish it sounded louder and more like the focus st.
Maybe the only advice is to actually try both cars and see which suits your driving style when choosing acar..
I actualy regret choosing a petrol BMW 1 series as unlike the diesel I tested it could not be steered on the throttle, , diesel torque in a rwd car = oversteer = fun!! Smoother power deliver imho suits front wheel drive more.
all imho of couse.
