Interesting--the 1.8 isn't all that bad (nor was the 2.5 it replaced) but 170hp in a awd wagon seems like it would be a little underpowered. I never really had any lag issues in my GTI. Maybe a little chuggy at low rpms but that's more of a spool threshold than lag. More peppy than a diesel for sure.
