Diesel - 307 or Golf/bora
Looking for a 5dr TDI diesel soon - not a racer - 110 bhp is fine
any opinions of which would be a better car
Peugeot 307HDI or Golf TDi
year around 2003/4 models
not had a diesel for many years since I was lucky enough to have company 405's.
thanks
David

I've got a Bora TDi PD130 Sport (2001 model). Great engine, I drive foot to the floor everywhere and it still gives 46mpg. 6 speed gearbox means very relaxed legal motorway speeds. The handling and ride are woeful though and they are not a drivers car by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, mine eats tyres at twice the rate my Scoobys ever did (don't know if that's normal or whether my alignment is fooked)

Ive got one of these too, can beat it. Mine does not eat tyres though. Would not touch a French car with a barge pole after my 206Hdi episodes. The PD130 is great, goes well, economical, and huge boot. Rear leg room is compromised a little for the extra boot space. Bora all the way. Better spec for the same money, when compared to a Golf.

Neither of the above, VW are over rated with over rated engines, Peugeot engines are not bad but the 307 has suffered problems over the years and its due for replacement shortly, personally, you want probably the best family diesel in the class with good reliability and handling (and as vw is only just above peuegot for reliability) well its got to be a vauxhall astra CDTi (better engine than both the above )

Most manufacturers are more reliable than peugeot, and to say that VW is barely better is a joke.
VAG diesel engines are class leading, why are you trying to push that opel/vauxhall crap onto the guy?
Personally I would get a Seat, faster cheaper and better to drive than equivelant VW

thanks for replies - made me re-assess as I prefer the interior of 307 - golf interior looks bland and cheap unless you get a high spec model.
Tony - have vauxhall made a big leap in diesel engine technology as I remember their old astra and vectra diesels as company cars and they were woeful- but if the new astras are much better may have a look.
thanks again - may now consider seat leon also
