Not long after I had owned my TD estate I asked the dealer (independant) what the DTi was like compared to the TD. He had one sitting on his forecourt which he could have easily said is far better than the TD, but he didn't.
He said the opposite, TD better for torque/power especially if you're  towing. Ok it was like a slug to get going when I first had it but now it's chipped, well it completely transforms the performance, especilly towing my near on 1500kg caravan.
If you want a newer facelift model then you would find poss a DTi easier to find than a TD, they dropped the TD not long after the facelift was brought in.
I've never driven a DTi so I may be talking a load of bull, someone on here may say so soon but just giving my thoughts and experiences to you. Was looking at a DTi estate for sale on here not so long ago and ws tempted to at least have a look and drive of it, only thing that stopped me was the distance. Derbyshire to Aberdeen

non chipped TD v DTI - DTi every single time


chipped TD v DTi - I'd have a small preference for the TD, though the rest of the car, rather than engine would probably swing it for me.
