TDIs passing trucks in stock form? No problem. They have nearly the same torque as a 1.8T in stock form and they achieve it at 1900 RPMs. They live for third, fourth and fifth gears.
At 35 MPH, I'd rather accelerate with my TDI than my 2.0. At a stop sign? Reverse answer.
TDIs can be chipped. 2.0s can be supercharged. In the end you might spend the same on either if you're inclined to modify. However, the TDI's mileage won't fluctuate much whereas the 2.0's mileage may suffer 2 MPG depending on which s/c you go with.
Hybrids have been coming under serious fire for not delivering their listed MPGs as compared to petrol and diesel cars.
