Amber Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Welcome!sounds like you're making a good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The problem I find with the TDi is the price, because people are scared by the fuel prices they are not buying petrol cars. A Lupo sport is pretty economical if you want it to be. The prices are so low it would take some serious miles to see enough saving to make the extra cash worth it. The TDi is more reliable though, so if you don't want to get your hands too dirty it may be the better choice. Insurance on a standard sport would cost no more or even less than a modded TDi. Defenatly take both the Petrol and TDi for a test drive, I prefer the Petrol but my wife thicks the TDi is much better. Welcome to the club by the way, pics of the civic?

cj-sharpy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yeah I agree I would go for the 1.4 petrol. The sport is nippy enough and unless you do loads of mile every day the running costs won't be much cheaper on the oil burner. Nice to see you moving over to the dub community tho.

Tigz™ Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 TDIS seem to be holding the alues, and they are pretty rare.I thought good ones were going for £3500-4500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
