Seat diesel? Or are you looking for a badge?

No badge requirement.

I am not looking for out and out economy as i am not skint. I could afford to do the miles in the civic although it would just be ridiculous.

So im looking for a good compromise. After browsing the Audi's the A3's look good for comfort, mod cons, style and mpg. Although there is about 50 variations of the engines that have listed mpg's from 35 to 65.

^^ Reliability is my concern as the EP3 i just put fuel in and go. No problems in 1.5years.

Don't get a MK4 then; You only need to see the amount of repairs Steve_PD has done to his MK4 in the last 3 and a bit years after covering over 80K miles in it........

must of been unlucky then

Or the fact he does 600 miles a week / 2500 miles per month and actually uses his car.  It's inevitable that things will go wrong.........

a 2.0 TDI 140bhp engine is what you want; find that in a Golf, Leon, Octavia, A3, A4 etc etc

A customer of mine is currently getting upto 750 miles a tank....... :shocked: :shocked:
