Most important, how much cash do you have to buy one?

£1000? £2000? 5000?

it don't have to be a tdi but so long as its reliable, does the required mpg all day long, and ideally falls in to the £35 a year tax bracket, it will be ideal.

Cars that spring to mind are

Audi A2 tdi
VW lupo tdi
VW polo tdi
or anything else you have in mind.

I need something soon... like yesterday! lol

Audi A2 TDI everytime.

Humvee, 6 to the gallon, cheap tax, cheap insurance and can live in it if need be

wow, thanks for all the reply's everyone

thought you'd be out partying

.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL BTW!!

Basically , about 2K budget. 2.5 max.

so i guess a cheap car made from 2001 onwards (for tax reasons) & up to about 2005 ~(to keep in budget).

I'm certainly liking the A2, it would be the easiest to love and much less painful to spend on it knowing it was something i actually liked..

but needs must and anything will do as long as its not un reliable and poorly made and expensive to maintain.

Not many A2 TDi's for less than £3500. real world MPG, you can get 60 + mpg but on a daily basis 56 is about the normal. this goes down in the winter if you allow the webasto heater to run which keeps the engine warm. 75 TDi's only have a 34 ltr fuel tank so you are forever filling it up if you do a few miles a week Tax is £30 a year

How many miles is the 1.4tdi engine good for? Is it as good as the 1.9? As i've heard the 1.9 is good for 400k miles

steveb · 02-01-11, 09:41 PM

like all things it depends how it's been looked after, mine has done 121,000 miles i have heard of a 180,000 mile one

NB if you look at car with open sky and it's working don't be surprised if it breaks, repair can cost £3,000 !! it nice though, even if it's shut all the time
