Diesel after Stage 2 Edition?
« on: September 19, 2012, 03:56:25 pm »
For anyone that has had a stage 1/2/2+/3 edition 30, what diesels have you considered... has to be 4 door, sporty and sub £14k?

Cheers,

Dom

New shape 330D manual? A decent remap and an exhaust will see very close to 300bhp and 500lb/ft. That is pretty much on the pace of a stage 2 Edition 30.  :happy2:

Octavia vRS 2.0TDI CR170.  Loads of room, great chassis, greta interior, and stage 2 it and you'll see 230hp/360lbft!!

£14k will get you a low mileage DSG with loads of extras as well!!

Thanks not a bad shout, and make it look like Alex's... But then I'd want to keep my Scirocco R brakes, but would sell my Edition as is if I did...

It has to be VAG i think, my BMW days are over, don't like the newer stuff...

You'll be able to get the facelift Octavia DSG for 14k, so it will look like eithr Hedges Hatch or vRSCarls Estate

When I thought of getting rid f mine after the break in I kept coming back to the face lifted octavia hatch back in blue and as said above, you can pick up an extremely well spec'd model for sub £14k

What's changed your mind in less than 48 hrs???

you were smitten just a few days ago??

if your selling just to try cut running costs,your only better off in a 1.0 or 1.2 litre petrol city car.

Its hard to see past BMW M Sport diesels, the 330D 09 onwards is 245 bhp standard and is well received in reviews.

Damn right, awesome things, especially for a daily. Fast but good on fuel when chilling. Its a shame they only did 335d's with auto and not manuel/DCT. That would make an awesome car!

I hear the newer auto boxes are much better than they used to be but this depends on preference.

Nothing's changed really, still an awesome car, just with fuel prices creeping up and doing 60miles a day, has got me thinking diesel...

...then I drive home, and it all changed lol... Just so effortless.

Just wanna get ideas if I do ever have to change to the dark side... ;-)
