which diesel hot hatch for 4grand?
 

looking for a diesel for hot hatch kicks.my mate has a fabia vrs which i like apart from the bland interior.
budget 4 grand approx.looking at A3TDI OR FIAT BRAVA 150 OR GTI TDI OR BMW 330D 184BHP OR LEON TDI ETC.would like heated seats if possible.all can be had for roughly same price any recommendations.i want some economy as my mate gets 50mpg.wife wont tolerate a skoda on the drive.shes a badge snob.

She doesn't know what she's missing out on :D

Facelift or late model SEAT Ibiza FR TDI 5 door.
FIAT Grande Punto maybe...

My wife was a badge snob too til she drove it! She had two

Problem with audi and BMW ,be expensive and high miles.

Stick to Seat and Skoda.Same engine as the Audi anyway.And no one will nick it:D

One for weekday driving. The other for the weekend?

Wow. She must really have like the test drive. ;)

Ha! started with a 1.4 then had the vRS

Diesel 3 series now though.....snob:D

Seats will be the best bang for the money, fully loaded Leon or Ibiza tdi for the money, £300 on a remap will see 180-190 bhp with 300ftlb of torque. The audi is over priced for what they are.

£300 can be thought of as expensive these days for a generic. 170-175ish BHP is a resonable estimate of remap potential.

My brother's got a late mk4, 5 door FR TDI. He's talked his arse off about modding it but never does... Remap, cruise and a RARB and it'd be done. Possible to do it and get change from £600.
