Looking at Diesels Audi A4's Estates which includes the 2.0l 143 and 170ps the 2.7l 190ps and also the 3.0l 240ps.
at first I though about going for the 143 or 170 versions to gain mpg and also have a fairly qiuck car especially if I had bluefin or something similar. but alot of people don't seem to get any where near the mpg stated on the spec sheets
I already own a 155bhp MK3 Mondeo ST TDCI(Bluefin to 185bhp) and get about 45mpg but it does drop in the winter times to about 42mpg. (20mile commute round trip achieving mostly 60mph)
Then I looked at the 3.0l versions and people seem to be getting better results based on the spec sheets with this car than the 2.0 versions.
Now im not too worried about mpg as long as I get whats expected so for example if a car is stated and 25mpg combined and i get somewhere near that I'm Happy.
If a car is stated at 50mpg and i only get 38mpg Im not happy!
So can you guys point me in the right direction based on your experience?
Thanks
