Yeah.. The ones that are on it are 225/40/18 I guess it all depends on the type of rubber too. That plus needing super means it will cost a bit extra, but I bought it for the fun factor along with the practicality. At least they throw in 3 yrs maintenance for free. Not bad.

They start out around the same price as the GTI.

True you get 10-15 more MPG but diesel is just expensive as premium around here and you get none of the fun you get with the GTI. I contemplated MANY vehicles before getting the GTI and the golf diesel was one of em.

Do they even make a diesel GTI?

I looked at a GTI and went with the Volvo instead... personal preference.

No......and I don't think you'd want one, because of the torque curve that falls on its face after 3 or 4K. It just wouldn't suit a car like that, IMO.

Plus they'd probably ask $30K for it.

Sean is that your new race whip? Are those Comp T/A R1's?
