Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Iv got a passat tdi payed 1k for it and am getting about 50mpg.. I use it for driving to work and taking my dog out.

Bockaaarck Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Would agree with the Accord, pretty good for covering the essential needs of a car. If you can find one, I'd be tempted by a late Peugeot 406 diesel. One of the most comfortable sheds I've ever had. Keep it serviced well and it should run for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
