I have the option to drive a 130 TDi or the
CTR, if I want to go out on a sporty drive there is no hesitation in getting in the type R, and not just because of the handling [Bora is lowered on Eibachs & 17" rubber now and handles very well for a nose heavy oil burner].
Turbodiesel power is great fun, but ultimately short lived, and not really a challenge. Additionally the FN2 throttle response is infinately better.
But I may change my mind when I get it remapped in next few months
