Hi Metalex, I bought a 1.4 TSI Sport (140ps) new on a 56 plate 2.5 years ago. I subsequently sold it to my parents. The 140 & 170 were introduced at the same time on what was then called the 'Sport' rather than the GT. The Sport had the normal golf front end. It was about 6 months later when the GT was intoduced with a similar front end to the GTI. U'm not aware of any visual differences between the two 140 & 170 model.
All I can say is that I was very impressed with the 140ps model. It had a decent turn of speed and was up with most other typical 2 litre rep mobiles whilst producing 42mpg all day long. Plenty of in gear flexibility too (torque).
