consam44 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Whats best 1.4 tdi or 1.0-1.4 petrol ? Whats your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westie1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I have an arosa and lupo both tdi, my bro had an arosa 1.0I LOVE my tdi as its economical, powerful and fun. But I'd love a sport/gti to thrash if better on fuel too as I miss my fiesta st at times.My bro drove his 1.0 like a tool, went slow and got crap mpg.Is say either 1.4sport and when not having fun try and drive it for mpg, or a tdi if you can get one as there the nuts.Hope that helps its late lol.

James827 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 TDI all day. much quicker, holds value much better, much better on fuel, more potential, no pedal box issues better spec (same equipment as sport) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupoluke Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 If you do alot of milage, especially motorway milage go for the tdi, still nippyish, effortless on motorways and get great mpg, not to forget bulletproof reliability. If you only do short journeys, or If you are an official B road blaster get a sport. There's pros and cons for the both, just depends what you want from the car.

westie1 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 True horses for courses, but if I was going petrol is just get a sport from the start or it will eat you away lol.Iv had my tdi a good while and still love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Bit of a silly question this is as the 1.4s goes for much less than the TDi, surely the cost is a big factor to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I kinda miss my S tbh, 'twas nippy enough & much better on fuel than the sport. I liked the deeper engine note too. I do like being able to overtake though, and with other people in the car too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like being able to overtake though, and with other people in the car too the SDI can overtake, sort of lol, although I imagine the 1.4S is pretty nippy when it comes to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consam44 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Cheers for that guys so is the 1.4tdi faster and more economical than the 1.4 petrol s? I like a diesel with and exhaust:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 The TDI & S are both 75bhp but the derv can be mapped to 100bhp easy enough. The power is supposedly more useable on motorways & whatnot with the TDI though, what with the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
