I have driven a couple of TDi models and they are a very different beast from my FSI.
You drive them on the torque and they are grunty in such a light car. TDI90 mapped gives a decent chunk of torque and is a swift car, 3 cylinders also which is quite different and clever. In pure terms the FSI is fastest if driven hard but a diesel will still cover the ground well and be even faster with a map. I went for the FSI as I like the nature of the car and you have to work it a little. My trips in it our only a couple of miles so the petrol was more suited to what I wanted from the car. Depends really on what you want and how you intend to drive the car around on a daily basis. TDI will give more economy of course but it’s not an engine you would take pleasure from taking to the Rev limit, the FSI is just a simple four cylinder but i take an old school enjoyment from using all the revs. Diesels do need to be looked after a little more and a little more complex. I would recommend looking and driving a couple of A2s to see what suits you engine wise. Some owners love to map the diesels and hypermile the hell out of them for example.

Hello All. Rekindling my original post.
My daughter is turning 17 this year, and I’m feeling an A2 is just about perfect for her first car. Anyone done the same? Not looked at insurance, but suspecting base 1.4 petrol is the best option. Anyway, will be looking out for a cheap one over the next few months. Any thoughts? Zip

I considered getting one, but went rogue instead and bought an (absolutely lovely  ) Panda 100HP instead

A2,s
well Malk my friend has 3 90bhp tdi,s (best one and £30 a year to tax) and we together have been restoring them over the last 4 years they can be a pig to work on and have many faults as we have discovered over the years they do tend to rust badly underneath suspension,subframe etc so look at the mot history or possibly get the car on a ramp lots of parts are becoming obsolete now the fsi has many engine issues and is more expensive to tax (£180-ish) be carefull a cheap one may cost you big time its a specialist car and not many garages understand them the last one we restored stands Malk at £5500 but is as new as they come and thats NO LABOUR INC any questions fire away personally from experience id but the Fiat Panda as tintin did
