No people on here don't faver them but........ a lot of that is down to the fact that they arnt very tuneable, well not for reasonable money,
For example my HDI iv achieved and extra 30-35bhp for around £50 , I can get to 155bhp for around another £300,
And XUD diesel estate you can get to £130 bhp for free or around 150-60bhp for £3-400
Where as to get more power out of a 1.8 you looking at aload of money & a shed load of custom development
This is a big reason they are not so favered, plus the weight that has to be pulled with the torque the 1.8 has
