6n2 Lupo or arosa tdi, bombproof engines Jewish mpg and If you get the right year tax is only 30 quid a year :)

Depends where you're working. You might be better off with a season ticket for the train.

What's your budget?

It's a bit lacking in scene points but I'm finding my little corsavan hard to knock. Cost a grand on a 52-plate and does 60mpg on a bad day.

Not really got a budget in mind tbh just wanna see what comes along, and with the train I will be working nights so dont fancy coming back on the train at about half 3 in the morning lol, I think it would be easier to drive anyway because it's about 2 mins away from the end of the m1 so an easy drive!

:ninja: drinks are on you, rich boy

If its a motorway slog, bora TDI? cheap enuf to pick up now or a Passat.

I have a MK3 Golf 1.9TDI.

60MPG all day everyday, sadly it isn't £30 tax a year though.

C250TD. not that economical, or cheap to tax. handles shit, but it sounds nice and they're bad as fuck.

How are people getting 60mpg from 1.9TDi? My 1.4 TDi 9n struggles for that. Am i driving too fast? Still, I'd easily go for the same again. Can look nice if modified too. £90 to tax and costs me (at 27 with 4 years NCB) £350 to insure. They can be pricey to buy as they seem to be holding their value quite well (still around 2-3K). Cant knock it though for what it does

My 1.4tdi 9n3 does 60+mpg as I do 110 miles a day on the M1.

Did cost me £6k but tax is only £30 a year!

I do 120 miles a day, but it doesn't matter how I drive. It's always 60 MPG.

I've done 13k in the car in 6 months without as much as an oil change. It doesn't feel as tight as it did when I got it, but it was cheap and I bought it to run into the ground as I knew I'd be putting some heavy miles on it.

B3 passat, veg oil is your friend

If your good at having mk6 golf 2.0tdi is very good 110bhp, £90 tax and comes with many whistles and bells. They have been out for 3 years so could get one off its 1st mot bit of a work horse 65mpg keeps high even with a heavy foot

Arosa tdi

honda cub90 :lol:

Cheers for the help guys, and Daniel I only said I don't really have a budget because Its my dad that's buying it for me ;)

the clio 1.5dci's are great i have one and its only 30 quid a year tax and you can pick them up for 2k easy enough can get 50-70mpg on them

1M Seat Leon 110TDI, pick them up for £2K worst mpg I got was 50mpg.

my mates got a mk2 1.0l polo breadvan... 45mpg on a weber lol

Best score I had out of my goof 1.9 TDI PD was 78.5mpg over a 50 mile trip! 6 speed boxes ftw

the clio 1.5dci's are great i have one and its only 30 quid a year tax and you can pick them up for 2k easy enough can get 50-70mpg on them

My "daily" is a Renaultsport Clio 197 and it does my head in. So I vote stay away from french... I fancied a change and regret it immensly...

Agreed, I see just over 40 from my Fabia vRS. :shock:

Fuelly link.

When driving like a granny I get 50 plus. But that's rare.

an early mk4 golf tdi over a later mk4 golf gt tdi i heard tht the turbo were pron to suffer on the later ones so what happend when my old man brought a later one at auction which went into limp mode at 80. i ended having to strip the turbo clean and now it runs fine but average 45mpg is a 6 speed which u can druise at 80 without knowing.

Something with a pd130 in it! I've got a 2004 seat Ibiza FR tdi. I'm 20 and it's cheap to insure. It's got a milltek, panel filter, pd160 intake, remap etc. running 190bhp and 320ft/lbs torque! I'm selling it soon and it will be around £2k (just to give you an idea of prices, not trying to sell it to you!!) I love it, but I do find diesels far more boring to drive than petrols!
