Diesels excell at low end torque and its smoother than a spark engine can ever be at low RPMs. A 1.9L 90 HP TDI turbo diesel will take almost anything off the line, very fast out of the hole, but suffers after that. In a diesel the fuel is injected continously over a period of time, instead of been ignited all at once. That is why a compresssion ratio of 23:1 with a turbo on top of that is possible, and why it is smooth at full load and low RPMs.
The TDIs are can be modified for great increases in torque over stock. Ther will be a 130HP DTI Passat this fall and it should be very fast.
