I had a non-turbo VW 1.6L diesel Golf. It was plenty fast. I could get to 60mph in a little over 6 minutes. I love that car. I should go get it as the current owner never changes the plates into his name. I did get pulled over for going too slow once and belching out big clouds of black smoke on a steep uphill climb. But that car just won't die. It's immortal.
