For a drive about daily, it would be the fabia every time with its hydraulic clutch
Sorry but the PD is just a good all rounder, easy to have power from, decent mpg and the engine goes on and on. Witnessed a tuned pd having a spirited drive with hg failure and drank all its coolant and then smashed the sump open and continued on for a good couple of miles the only thing killing it after a new sump was someone crashing into it. They also seem pretty simple to work on, there's plenty of support for them. Okay maybe they're a bit scene queeny for some but who cares if you just want to drive it.
The HDi is a bit more refined but its a different style of diesel technology, even still I dont find PDs to be that rough. Not the smoothest but not quite the cold morning XUD running veg
A real shame for the HDi is not having a VNT from factory
