I'd like to check out a Golf diesel. I wish BMW or Mercedes had a small diesel one could actually purchase in the US or Cal anyway. The E320 CDI gets 35 mpg at a curb weight of around 3800 lbs. Soon as I get a spare $50K, I'm buying one. The Golf gets 45 supposedly at a weight of 2900 with a 1.9 diesel. My E-30 BMW weighs 2600. I'd love to be able to drop in a 2.2 to 2.5 turbo diesel with intercooler into that frame and see what I had.
