dood with a chip and nothing else, a tdi makes over 200 torque. get an intake and exhaust on that beast and hellz yea your in gsr territory....or atleast si territory. and with all that the mileage only goes up. ive talked to people who got over 60 mpg freeway, and my moms stockq tdi consistently gets over 45 in the city. and well maybe your right, stockq for stockq the civic might be faster but the vw is by far a nicer car.
You, my friend, are terribly mistaken. You have no clue how diesels work, pure battery operated vehicles went out the window with the Prius, Insight, and Civic Hybrid, and there will soon be 250hp Honda vehicles getting 40 mpg with a low weight IMA system (which, by the way, does not weigh as much as you think to begin with). By the way, I hate when people use words like "dood", "hellz", and "yea" and whatever other slaughter of the English language you can think of. As a fellow Clevelander, I must say I'm embarrased to see someone on HAN who has little knowledge of Hondas from my city.
