Anyone had one?
Looking at a A4 2.5 V6 TDI quattro as the next work car, would be spot on for the snow! Only worry is MPG, as the 110 1.9 TDI Octavia I have now is spot on, does 500+ miles to a tank with a full car, around £55 to fill it.

What sort of age are you looking at? I have a 2002 at the moment and its lovely to drive; had the newer shape 1.9 prior and the 2.5 is so much smoother and nicer.I use to get 54MPG from the 1.9 and get 47MPG from the 2.5; but its worth the extra

Cheap as really, no point in me spending a lot on it as its only for work, serious miles being put on it per month! Quattro would be handy as I travel 100 miles a day, and the roads up here are fucking shocking come winter!

The 1.9 is probably a better choice
