Putting the car up for sale soon for around 2.5k..

Looking at going for a
Audi A3 1.9 Tdi or the Seat Ibiza 1.9 Tdi FR
in yellow :P

Which do you reckon A3 or FR or something else?

[Gordzilla]

Go Jap ! :P

[turbotom]

i agree go jap... unless u are looking for a diesel for fuel economy lol

[LeeM]

£2.5k? slightly optimistic

[Tommy-S]

Go Jap ! :P

agreed!

[CoolC]

Out of those too i would chose the Seat FR

[immense]

A3 for me.

[markwillows]

jap as in type r? or something else..

2 types of 1.9 A3s... 110 bhp and 130... Make sure you get the 130.
Or go for the 2.0 which is 140...

[markwillows]

yer i am looking at diesel mainly for fuel ...

it's just as cheap if not cheaper to run a petrol car unless your doing over 30,000 miles a year the way prices are at the pump petrol is the way. .. .. example my boss has an x5 3.0i deisel he does about 60miles max a week and that cost him 50 quid his mate has the 4.4i petrol x5 does about the same mileage and cost the same!

[markwillows]

only thing was the majority of petrol cars I'm looking at around 1.9/2 litre all do around 20mpg whereas the diesels are above 40.. So was thinking it would save quite a bit..

[R15AXO]

i kno what you mean but at the end of the day it's how you drive them

[stompin-sarah]

I drive a 2.0 and i am currently getting 35mpg average. Not to bad at all for the price of filling the tank up.

[AlexR]

Getting a real 39mpg average in my 182...

[TypeRhys]

Go Jap ! :P

:cool:

Out of the two you have chosen i would go for the audi but only because it is bigger.

[Steady_Eddy]

Go jap or A3

[Ryan]

go jap if you want to drive a ugly as sin dull car thats got a very lifeless engine unless over 5k...

fantastic :P

[markwillows]

cheers all but i think it's going to have to be the FR
Just can't find the right one at the minute
Want it 06 or newer as I hate the old front bumpers and of course I want the Yellow model :P
