    3.0 TDi or S4?

    yeah, approx 1000 miles of that will be motorway at around 70-80 (when not queing!). 30mpg seems quite low for a diesil. Would carefull driving on a long journey see over 40mpg? I used to have an ex police V70 T5 which was a 2.3T petrol that would see 30mpg on a long drive. And that was only...

    Thanks for the comments. So I'm now leaning towards a 3.0TDi. As for auto or manual - durability? Having driven the odd auto, they seem to ride the clutch. Do they last as long as a manual box? Cheers, Kev EDIT: What does a remap do in terms of power, torque and performance to a 3.0 TDi?
