I'm with snoopy on the Mazda really 

Diesel wise anything with a VAG 1.9 or 2.0 TDI in will be great on fuel 

[R32UK]

well each to their own i guess, but i think i'd rather start with a decent bhp fig & awd & then sort out the suspension myself,  but as i say, we're all different. To my personal way of thinking, I'd be going for an awd 170tdi a3 over a fwd golf gtd, spend the money saved on a couple of mods & enjoy a lot of the benefits of a gtd with the added safety in winter / ability to get all the power down of the awd....... But as Jules has said, the R32 is a hard car to move on from;) Now if it would just stop losing value ......I could keep both kidneys;)

does that mean you are looking to sell... i may know someone thats interested

It has crossed my mind recently, but I'm going to keep it another year I think. Although fuel costs are becoming an increasing issue, i only do maybe 5k miles per year so its not too bad for me. Keep your eye on R32OC thou, theres a few people moving back to diesels, so might be a good source. I think the R32 is fairing a bit better than the v6 TT's, but theres a definite drift back to economy.....which makes it a good time to pick one up if you can bear the running costs

Gilly, when's the pics of the Mazda getting uploaded?

If you're intent on a diesel for economy then would a 320d or similar not be worth a look. Good mapping potential, good solid car and RWD for those hairy chested man moments.
