mk5 Golf Gti Vs Tdi overall economy?
I have a mk4 gt tdi which the misses uses every day, and want newer car. so obvious choice is a mk5 gt tdi.
but they are ugly as hell, so id want to put a gti bumper and trim on it as well as seats and wheels and suspension.
Lets face it its gna cost at least £1k to put the wheels, bumpers, seats and lower the tdi.
someone said to me over a year a diesel only works out £50 cheaper than a modern 2.0l petrol, taking into consideration all the variables!
does anybody have the missing sums, this may sway me! realistic driving fiqures please not manurefacture fiqures as we all know they lie!!
Mpg of GTi = 25-30
Mpg of tdi 1.9 and 2.0 = 45-50
Price of petrol =£1.15
Price of diesel =£ 1.30
Price of an 06 GTi 5 door =10k??????
Price of an 06 Tdi 5 door =8k???????
obviously i wont pay the full price as i can get them trade price
I will be buying a car in the next few weeks, so please be honest/realistic
I dont really want to spend any more than 7-8k. ive had expensive cars before and it depresses me to much!
Id also like to point out i dont want a debate as to which it better/faster and all that, as i WONT be buying the car for speed. its more about styling and comfort and having a nice looking everyday car for the misses.
thanks in advance
