I'm looking to get rid of my 1996 B5 Audi A4 TDi after its good service with me.
The dilemma I have in my head is I need a car that does >40mpg on the motorway as I do 1000 miles a month for work alone.
Been looking at A4 TDi's and BMW 320d's online as the "sensible" option. However I know some of the new modern hot hatches are capable of doing >40mpg on a motorway cruise so it got me thinking could I have my cake and eat it by getting a fun car that will not bankrupt me with my commuting miles.
*EDIT*The car needs to be big enough to take 4 people + luggage comfortably, the BMW's and Audi's I've been looking at are all estates. I know I'll loose that with a hot hatch, but I would like a 'big' hot hatch so no pumped up city cars please.
Budget is hovering around 12-15k, 4k deposit the rest on finance.
What can the wealth of wisdom of the SXOC provide me on this?
Cheers,
Willie
