Surely given the other cars on your radar, it should be an s3 - not a wanky tdi

They don't seem to be in my price range? I'm undecided if I want to but a cheaper car and invest the rest - or to spend the lot on another car

Yeah the price and half decent mpg are pretty hard to ignore

I didn't expect that from you.

5 cylinder one I presume?

Absolutely loved mine. Felt a little heavy but was a lovely motor and that engine was fantastic.

May as well ask which car magazine, they would suggest a ford focus as a car.

I assumed Dr pepper was talking about the st170

The 225 is pretty terrible in regards to fuel economy. Mine used to average 16-18mpg.

I can't believe you averaged 16-18 .... Were you using all the gears?

Must be 40 mpg in CS miles.

No one would ever buy diesels of high power petrol turbos got 40mpg in real life.

Not sure really. Most i ever got out of it was 30mpg and that was motorway miles driving like a granny.

Thay was back when fuel was sub 90p a litre so wasn't too bad.
