My wife has the previous model Tdi, great car, fantastic economy & enough torque to tow the trailer with my mini.

That said, the new petrol versions are that good you'd have to be doing taxi driver kms to recover the extra cost of the diesel car. If you do go for the Tdi, go the DSG - we have the 6 speed and although I love manuals, it is just too much cog swapping.
