Both VW and BMW have bi-turbo 2-litre tds that up the ante to 177hp and 200hp respectively. To be fair to the VW bi-turbo it's used in heavier vehicles like the 5000lb Multivan people mover so it's tuned more for low-end power whereas the BMW bi-turbo is used in lighter vehicles like the 3500lb X1 where the power distribution can be more top-end biased.

If VW sold the GTD here, I'd be tempted. But like I said, that's stepping all over Audi's toes. Plus, I like the understated look of the standard Golf.
