Here is a link to an earlier thread on the subject;- http://www.briskoda.net/forums/new-o...rol-vrs/83234/

and copy of a post I put on it:

"If you are thinking of changing what factors are pushing YOU to the vRS TDI?

For me, as I considered both before buying a TDI, they were (not that I had a vRS TFSI first mind you), in no particluar order;-

1. Lower CO2 emissions to give lower Company Car Tax - saved £850pa
2. Better Fuel Consumption by about 10mpg - I do 20,000 mile pa at my own expense
3. Lower Insurance by 3 groups, meant I could get my 19 year old son covered as an occaisional driver (insurers would not cover him in a TFSI) - Lucky b*****.
4. Lower depreciation

5. I sort of just LOVE diesels anyway. The vRS TDI gives you a tsunami of torque and a growl like a Grizzly Bear on heat on full throttle.

On the down side;

1. The handling of the TDI is not quite as sharp on turn in with a touch more understeer due to the heavier engine
2. The rev range is narrower (2,000 to 4,500rpm as opposed to 2,000 to 6,000+ rpm), but as the 6 speed Gearbox is fantastically good to change gear, with the ratios being close and neatly spread this is not a real issue, and
3. It is a few tenths slower 0-60 and a couple of mpg light on Vmax; but the in gear times are a gnat's apart so in the real world it makes no difference.

Other than that - to look at they are both EXACTLY the same so who else but you will know the difference (and don't anyone give me the "you sound like a tractor as you drive past a bus queue" routine - I couldn't give a monkey's about that)."

Having one also myself I get 40mpg and a sturdy road holding car to boot, it isone of the best cars I have owned, I had also had the MK1 vRS and it is better than that & feels more solid.
Sometimes I actually think it holds the road better than my weekend Scooby, but it is a diferent car obviously.
