I'm looking to get a new car and have got my heart set on the A3.
I have a budget of between £8000-9000. I freelance over the country as a cameraman so occasionally will do a lot of miles, because of this I have been looking at the efficient diesels engines, maybe a 2 litre 2010 TDI with about 80,000 miles.
I read a thread the other day saying though the diesels are incredibly efficient and money saving on fuel, they can be extremely expensive if the engine fails so are best to stick with petrol. Do you all agree with this? I'm starting to think I don't do as many miles as I initially thought and obviously will vary from week to week.. though would still love the savings on fuel but in your opinions am I better getting a petrol with less miles that wouldn't cost as much if something went wrong?
