TDIs are beast. It takes some money to make them fast, much more compared to a 1.8T or 2.0T, but straight piped and blowing smoke from a car is fun as hell. My cousin had one, and he got up to 45-46 on the highway, 30s in the city.

I put $2k in my 1.8T and it ran 13.9 on street tires and was one of the most comfortable and reliable cars I've ever owned. I remember very vividly getting my ass handed to me by a TDI and thinking to myself a 130HP Golf just beat me...lol...while getting 40+mpg.
