cheapest diesel?

[Bowey]

im going to college soon and i cant really afford my vtr so i need a cheap diesel which gives the best mpg, im not bothered about speed or looks.. any ideas what i can get?

[furiomike]

saxo 1.5d? :p

budget?

i think old punto diesels are supposed to be pretty good with the mpg, and are cheap.

or something French like a 306.

[Bowey]

budget of around 2.5k, ive been looking at 306s but all of them around my area are like 150k + miles lol

[swampy]

Clio but get the turbo one as the non is realy flat!

[furiomike]

yeah whatever you get make sure its got a turbo. otherwise its like hitching a ride on an asthmatic donkey.

[Viper]

you can get a 1.5 diesel saxo for fuck all

easily do 55+ mpg.

i used to get over 500 miles to a tank. and that was driving like a cock

What you all seem to be missing is you need to do a hell of a lot of miles to get any gains from a Diesel car, if your just commuting average miles your better off with a smaller Petrol eg a westy/furio.

tbh i was gonna ask if he's doing short journeys. but your right, you pay a premium for a diesel. maybe is best to save a few hundred and buy a petrol.

also, my vtr got me 44mpg, so an oldish diesel wont be massively better anyway really. especially if you just do shorts runs.

well ill be doing around 40 miles aday and considering my vtr is drinking £20 of fuel in 80/90 miles its pissing me off lol im getting like 20mpg and that is stupidly slow driving

[byrnes]

£20 of fuel in 80/90 miles

Jesus thought mine was bad mate :O

[Claireeyy]

the vtr isnt much to run tbh i do 400 miles a week and it costs about £40 on fuel. usualy but with the tax goin up be more now lol rekon you will struggle to get a diesle much cheaper that said a mate has a 1.6tdci fiesta and t runs and runs.

Corsa 1.3 CDTi

[MiniGibbo]

Your getting worse mpg than i do in my 2.5 i get 50 miles to a tenner.

Maybe you should try servicing your car even driving it like a tool a vtr dont drink that fast.
