My wife now has a 1.6 Astra petrol. I drive a 2.0 diesel golf.

I know that my Gold will be more powerful but was underwhelmed with the performance of the Astra. It seemed to be slow in accelerating and pulling off from jnctions. I recall that I had to change my driving technique when I started driving diesels buy wondered if there were any pointers / tips.

I know the Astra 0 - 60 is 10.9 compared with the Golf's 8
