Hey guys, iv passed my driving test like ages ago, probably 4 5 years ago. I'm a uni student and i have decided to commute to university coming this January so i have like 2 months to decide which car to get. The distance will be roughly around 70 miles from A to B and vice versa. Il probably stay one or two day in my friends flat when i have morning lessons so on average il be traveling 420 (blaze it!, sorry lol had to
) miles a week. Iv been researching for past month and the more deeper i go, i seem to get lost even more. So far, the car that i keep looking back to are;
golf tdi 1.6 or 2.0- most people say get 2.0 as 1.6 is a little cranky and not refined well
golf polo 1.4 tdi or tsi- i haven't researched much on this and still debating on my golf or polo mindset
vauxhal new astra cdti 1.6- iv recently stumbled on this beauty and it seems little better than golf but its a little more expensive
and little more on the new ford fiesta, corsa and all that.
Basically, my conclusion and understandment right now is, diesel is better for long commutes and is more fuel friendly, except i'm little confused on the new ford fiesta and corsa petrol which is eco friendly as well.
Could you guys please give me feedback which diesel car would best suit me or if not which petrol. My budget is 8k-10k, and iv looked into max mileage 40k and gotten most results around 8.5k-11k. Many thanks!
