They offer excellent value, something like this:

09 plate, loads of kit, low miles. Hummm, might need to drive one.

Think JasonM has the earlier model? 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Still not convinced a diesel is going to work for driving around London 

[tunnie]

Well it's outside London, Camberley to Osterley. 25 miles each way, lots of stop start and traffic lights hence I now want an auto.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yes but stop start and traffic lights equals a DPF that wont regen, a diesel which is not working at its optimum conditions/temperature and consequently equals trouble!

They don't work at all when the DSG selects two gears at once

[Doctor Gollum]

Beware of Scottish registered ones regardless of mileage/spec... almost certainly supplied by one of two taxi wholesalers...

Hummmm. M3 currently 50mph average limit too, even without that would rarely go faster at rush hour.

I think i will do about 12-14k a year.

It's practical for getting to work and back, which is what the objective is.

A real looker and best with a big V8 engine that runs on proper fuel.

What does a 2.0 Skoda derv say about the person who owns it?

It says the person who owns it has absolutely no interest in cars.

It says I want to get more than 25mpg on my run to work! Which the diesel would give me, but not if DPF fails!

Corrected it for you, your driving style and commute does not match the needs of a modern diesel

Does this help, Mr Tunnie?
