"As far as I’m concerned, that’s a double win for the Golf Wagon TDI, achieving better performance without any particular effort on the part of the driver, and actually living up to tested and advertised consumption figures."
This to me is the strength of the TDI. I don't want to have to make flowers grow on my dashboard, make dashboard lights turn from white to green, or keep half my brain focused on getting into EV mode to get great fuel efficiency; I just want to drive the car. Make mine a manual, please.
