I actually test drove a 1.8 with a view to buying, afterwards, I got a whiff of coolant and walked away. I may go for a 1.8T next (if the diesel becomes terminally ill) if I can just be convinced it won't suffer HGF. I know it's an old 'bone of contention' if you like but I can't help having reservations. Can someone tell me, that (with the latest gasket etc) the problem is solved? I did like the smoothness and purity of the 1.8, and with diesels becoming outlawed it may be a good alternative.
