The time has come to return my current lease car a LEON 2.0 TDi FR and i have decided to buy a car this time. I fancy an ALTEA it must be a diesel as i have a 55 mile round trip commute. I am not looking for a high performance car( more about that in a minute) so the priority is economy,however i am worried that after the FR ,a 1.9 TDI in particular will feel too slow. I am therefore thinking about a 2.0 TDI sport or a 1.9 TDI stylance and if the later would consider a remap.
I have plenty of experience with the engines in question having had Fabia vrs, A3 2.0TDI and my wifes current Passat 1.9 TDI (100 bhp) amongst quite a few others although have no experience of the engines in an ALTEA anybody have any thoughts or comments?
I am looking at spending up to 6k which would seem to mean 04/05 cars again is their anything i should watch out for?
Finally, and apologies for such a long post, if all goes to plan i will have about 2k to spend on a fun car. Possibilities include an MX5(already had one),a Corrado/Scirocco or an early IBIZA GTI.
