Hi Gents and Ladies =D
Im new to the forum and would like a honest opinion from ppl on the choice of car im thinking to get as per title. I currently drive a 320D (163) remapped to 195bhp which is brill fun and more than enough power for me but i fancy a change now having driven BMWs for the past 4 cars! the A4 has always caught my eye and im in the middle of considering the above options all in the s-line form.
Generally speaking i do about 10-14k miles a year...lots of mix driving = 70% motorway and 30% town. Have budget of 16k to play with.
After some research I have come up with the following pros and cons of each and would like some input on my choices...or even better...recommend the right one for me! hehe x
2.0 TFSI
+ This was the model I really wanted as it was a petrol and provides plenty of punch
+ Nice petrol sound system which i really miss =)
+ MPG is approx 35mpg combined? which seems okay! but correct me if im wrong
- Reading horror stories about the oil consumption which has really worried me...not sure if this is a common fault? but has got me really scared about this engine.
2.0TDI (143)
+ Plenty of choice within my budget
+ Combined MPG is 45??
- diesel sound system
- worried is too slow compared to my 320D - i know there is the option of remap to 175bhp but still worried its not enough hehe...opinions???
2.0TDI (170)
+ similar power to mine
- mpg readings are like 35mpg from what i read so is pretty low.
- diesel sound system
- very rare in the used market
2.7 TDI
+ very nice output of power at 190bhp
+ twin exhaust at the back looks lovely!
- very rare on the used market
- mpg is low 30mpg ive been told?
so, this is what ive found...any input or comments will help me make a choice! thanks all
