Diesel car ideas

[zenicman9]

Hi all

I am looking for some suggestions for a new car I have a 9k budget

It needs to be diesel and have all the mod cons

Any suggestions

A4 TDI Sline.

Octavia VRS

320D

3dr or 5dr?

Hatchback, saloon, estate, small MPV?

Would certainly help rule in or out a lot of cars if you know what you want or don't want.

Ideally a 3 door would consider 5.

Needs to be reliable return fairly good mpg.

Look sporty, ideally leather hatchback

I'm thinking of selling mine in the next few weeks. See my post in the Random Chat section = Difficult Decision – Selling Up

I appreciate we are on a volkswagen forum and you have mentioned a 3 door, but my vote goes for a mondeo st tcdi, your budget would get you one of the best out there. Just an idea....

Have a look at mine that is for sale - would leave you a few quid spare to complete some mods.

How many miles do you do per year? Unless its 20k+ its not really worth it imho, dervs cost considerably more to fix when they break!!

Also, buying a diesel, to then spend the money you save modifying it? Why dont you just buy a Gti and spend the mod money on fuel instead

I disagree,

My GTI I get around 20/25 mpg around town, when I had a Derv GT TDI I was doing 40/45 around town. And then on a 200 mile trip, the GTI does 35 ish with normal driving and 15 when putting foot down, but the Derb did 55 on long runs, and 40+ when pushing it!

Big difference.

Modern day petrols in a none sporty engine say a corsa 1.2 or focus 1.6 are very good on juice.

I had a mondeo st tdci great to drive when mapped. Have you thought about a Volvo c30 d5 manual go well and lovely place to sit in

Big difference in price when the derv breaks as well though ... maybe its different with the Gti as you have turbo's etc to break, but with an NA petrol engine, there are no high pressure fuel pumps, injectors, turbos, etc to cr4p themselves and cost you £1500 to fix
