Allroads Petrol or TDI

[majesticproperti]

I am thinking of buying an Allroad have about 5k to spend on an older one not worried about miles on the clock. Buying to save my m3 as its getting wrecked on the roads where i live. Full of pot holes and all up hill.

Whats best the petrol or 2.5 tdi. whats the power like in both models.

I live in spain so fuel is cheaper than the uk. I dont do a lot of miles but i dont wont a snail either.

Your thoughts guys, also what to look out for on a high miler.

Thanks
Anthony

The 2.7T petrol engine is massively more refined, torquey and powerful than the 2.5TDI. The 2.5TDI uses less fuel.

Your choice.

2.5Tdi tip does 30mpg, no better.
we have one
not the best diesel in the world, but fine for a large car
