damn you what is it now?

I'm guessing they've given you a diseasel... If you'd have said it's quite small but feels big, you'd hit the description of a Golf TDI on the head. Can't think of much that's the other way around.

Seat Leon or Honda Civic (do they actually do them in diesel?)?


And don't spoil the fun by PMing me the sodding answer again :P

Oh Golf TDIs are luuurrrrvveeeellllyyyyy!!!! Accelerating that is, not much else! Reliability is rubbish - loads of moaners about them. But very nippy. Stick it in 6th gear at 80mph, and floor it :D

VW Jetta 2.0 TDI 140ps

Why? lIt's ikely to be a diseasel and the smaller engines only have 5 gears iirc. Almost certain it's a Jetta though, the Passat has its mirror controls somewhere sensible like on the door armrest :)

You know, those knobs look a lot like those on an older Toyota Avensis. Can't be it though.

Give us a clue! Is it a VAG vehicle at least?
