1.8 Petrol vs 1.9 D turbo...
#28
My input on this.

If i was to have only 1 306 for fun & daily. I would have the 1.9 DT. With a mild tune they are fun to drive and work well on day to day basis. I currently own a hdi and its great daily but IMO even at stage 1 map it isnt no where near as fun to drive as a DT & the DT does the daily bit to

petrols. I wouldnt have any thing but a 6 but then i wouldnt have a 6 as my only mode of transport lol. I personaly feel that they arny as fun for blipping around town and B road bashing. And on long motor way miles they down xgive you the low revs and fuel econemy the dervs do. So yeah i wouldnt have a perv 306 apart from a 6 as a weekend /summer toy. (which i do so im kinda bias) lol


before any one starts bashimg me its just my opinion for the OP

Also on the topic of tom & zaks hdi V XUD argument. I thinl an XUD is just as reliable.

XUD: easier to diagnos/find problems cheaper parts and easier to work on for tthe amature mechanic to work on

HDI: tends to be harder to find the route of the problems. And parts seem to be more expensive. And harder to work on for some one with basic skills due to the electrical side of the hdi.


This is actually down to personal experience. My hdi has been a PITA
