Sensible diesel hatch - 6k budget??!!

[Mathias]

Looking at getting a sensible diesel hatchback, budget of 6k, thinking a mk4 or mk5 golf gt tdi 150, what you guys think?

[LWS_71]

Golf of fabia imo :)

[Tommo87]

Very boring, my mk5 lasted 6 months.

Could you not pick up one of the Cupra TDIs though for that kind of money? At least it looks better than the Golf.

[Jaytee]

Fabia vrs.

[MiniGibbo]

I be looking at a mk5 golf my self..

[DundeeUnited]

audi a3

[Scott]

Ibiza fr. 80mpg. Looks ok. Vag build. Easy tuneable.

I actually can't fault my Ibiza it's been a tremendous car.

[DanViner]

alpha romeo 147 jtd


I am getting a 147 next week
But with your budget I would be looking into fabia vrs for sure

[DundeeUnited]

great cars man seriously,

[Mieran]

Astra MK5, the 150 engine or Ibiza

[wolf_gsxr]

golf is good. dodgey gearboxes tho. seriously quick car for a diesel

[wesley-saxo]

mates mums got a golf ( milf she can take a cock )

[Dane1]

Golf ftw :y:

Mk4s its only the 1.4/1.6 engined ones as far as I know which are shit

"Hole punctured in gearbox casing due to a sheared rivet on the differential.

The rivets attaching the final drive gear to the differential are inadequate and shear off, usually around 50k miles"

[JoshB]

I bet half the people who have posted 'Golf' in here haven't even driven one...

Saying 'Golf' to a "What Diesel" thread is almost like saying saying "Needs Lowering" in the pictures thread!

£6k, I'd have one of these over a golf any day of the week.

[James-Saxo]

Deffo the car above.. its hot stuff

[yorkie]

fabia pal 60mpg easy and my mates got one tuned 235bhp go like a train and still doing 45-50mpg

[Nik_L]

Mk5 Astra CDTi 150 with XP kit.

[Pixie]

I have been looking for the same but a bit lower budget
So far I have looked at:

Fabia VRS Diesel
Peugeot 206 1.6 HDI GTI
VW Golf Mk4 1.9 TDi
Astra 1.7 CDTi SRi (16v)

also a........... :oops: .................VW Beetle 1.9 TDi

But you wouldn't be interested in that :oops: lol :P

[Gary-VTR]

I'd be after an A3 personally. Although you'd be looked at about 80k miles for 6k.

[adjy90]

seat leon 1.9 tdi fr :)

An overpriced 3 series?

[LWS_71]

I've driven a golf and it was very nice, nippy and had lots of room. If your going to mod it in any way I would say get a Bora as they look sweet when modded.

[yorkie]

All but the vags are slow as fuck^

REALLY??? LOL

i been in mk4 golf tdi(130) and (150)s there fair quick and i know fabia vrs's are really quick for diesels book up on your diesels pal

I thought the Fabia VRS was quite nippy??! :geek:

[LWS_71]

People can not read today can they. He said all BUT vags are slow as fuck! Technically the fabia is a VAG therefore it is not slow as fuck.

Although its still a 5 door diesel skoda :n:

Vags & skoda then :A:

[adjy90]

skoda have vag engines?

[Caino]

Fabia VRS !!

[Pixie]

skoda have vag engines?

Yes I know :wall:

[Nik_L]

Why does it have to be a hatch??

Go for an E46 330d M Sport.Would get a decent 2001/2 model in your budget.Fantastic cars and go like fuk.

Or if it has to be a hatch then as said,a Mk5 Astra CDTi 150.With or without a tuning box,itl wipe the floor with the equivilent VAG cars.

[performanceparts2011]

alpha romeo 147 jtd

agreed alfa jtd's are the best diesel 2 drive on the planet lol

Not exactully, id rather take a mk5 golf over a 320 which blow theyre swirl flaps out theyre arse....

Decent 330d yes but never in that budget.

Now back into your cave you go...

[titchster]

seat leon 1.9 tdi fr :)

This. Essentially the Golf GT TDI you were originally thinking of. But without looking like a Golf.

[Aaron]

audi a3 s-line 170bhp
or the a3 140bhp
still very nippy cars

[Nik_L]

Hell aye.Could pick up a good 1 for 5k these days.

My mate sold his about 6mth ago for 4.5k.Was a 2001 330d M Sport with 97k in immaculate condition.Couldn't get it shifted or any interest.He says he got 4.5k but i suspect he took less.

[Cupra-Craig]

Got a nice mk4 golf top spec well in your budget

[AXracing]

agreed alfa jtd's are the best diesel 2 drive on the planet lol

Agree, Though even the best diesel is still not half as good to drive as an average petrol.

[Mathias]

Thanks for all comments/opinions, bought an anniversary mk4 golf now - 1.8 gti petrol, but got it for a great price :)
