Hi

I work for a dealer, taking pictures and advertising them on the internet... so I drive a wide range of different cars. I think what would best suit you is an 1995-2001 audi a4 saloon or avant(estate), very smooth engines, reliable, very well built, good handling and even more so for the quattro models.

If we give an example on prices around the year 96-98 with average mileage

1.9 TDI(115ps) FWD = (51mpg) or Quattro/4wd version = (47mpg) £2-4k

2.5 TDI FWD = (40mpg) or Quattro/4wd version = (35mpg) £3-6k

1.8 T sport FWD = (34mpg) £2-4k

I would probably pay a little extra and go for the 2.5 TDI quattro, alot of grunt, and you cant miss out on the 4wd can you now

Let me know what you decide to buy anyhows.

It was built as a common platform so to say it was taken from a Mazda is a bit misleading.

Skoda used VAG's small car platform first but it would not be correct to say the Polo and Ibiza platforms were taken from a Skoda.

They were all planned to use the same platform but it's just who gets them first.

You guys should read this post about saab and GM

Not even a hint of sarcasm in that sentence. You need to word your posts better if that's what you actually meant...

 

Well when you quote it like that you wont see the sarcasm but maybe if you read the whole post including what I quoted maybe....

Just a suggestion

 

I did and this is the only reference to... Saab/GM. It's hardly worth getting excited about:


Gosh... Reads like the kind of post made by you, Audilover. Night.

 

Oh, I read it - difficult though it is to decipher your posts. It didn't make its point earlier and I'm sure if I read it again, it still won't. Feel free to witter on as you have before. I'm not sure why I got involved with your asinine twaddle. However, as I said before - night.

 

What is is your bizarre obsession (out of context I might also add) about this saab/GM thing.

We all get it..you don't like saabs. Fair enough.

What saab is it that you have owned that has been nothing short of a nightmare?

 

You must have the reading age of a 8 year old then.

 

As most well educated 8 years olds could tell you, that should be "the reading age of an 8 year old". The word "eight" starts with a vowel.

Next week, we'll be doing our 4 times tables.

 

A pretty advanced one in that case. My first Degree's in English Literature. It's plain to see yours isn't...
