TDI, yep. ~110km/h cruising with a 6spd dsg doing about 1600rpm or something crazily low. DSG kicks down real easy so power is still there when you poke it.

My GT Sport TSI Gets 800KM+ Per tank. 650KM when giving it a spirited run.

Thinking of having a look at this
2011 VOLKSWAGEN POLO 66TDI DSG COMFORTLINE 6R MY11 Cars For Sale in WA - carsales.com.au - carsales.com.au

What do you guys think?

Its auto and black and has aircon (what the mrs sees in a car lolz) ticks all the boxes
and in diesel and with in the 25K budget +- 2kish which is what I want too

Yep Nice rig.

Also probably has that Bluetooth feature that allows you to listen to your iphone music via bluetooth and displays on the dash.

7 Speed box is wicked too. I have driven a frew golfs with the 7 speed and it is ultra smooth.

phil, probably the particulate filter if it only gets used for short trips

anyone with a new gen diesel should bear this in mind, here's what i'm talking about:

VW Audi DPF filter regeneration with DPF problems like clogging and why you can't do a DPF bypass or DPF delete with a kit

quite a few people have been caught out with the new forester diesels, particulate filter aint cheap to replace (around $2k iirc) & no aftermarket eqivalents available as yet

I haven't looked at the actual car in question, but in the mkV diesel golf's only the GT Sport with the 2.0 TDi with 125kw/360nM had the DPF. The lower spec'd diesels were DPF free. Not sure if this has been carried forward for the mkVI?

DPF was definitely an issue with Mazda 3's when I was selling them. Very rarely did they need replacing even if the DPF light came on. They hooked the car up to the computer, ran a DPF regeneration which took about an hour and it was good to go again, but if it was fucked, at the time they were $5k and not covered by warranty which sucked as weekly yard starts lasting around 15 minutes would fuck the DPF after 6 or so months.

Best bang for buck car on the market, no brainer really. Good luck with your search.

Yeah I bought a Polo turbo diesel, still have it now with 73k km

No problems to reports so far so good(touchwood), tho I think the older models had DSG gearbox problems and would melt pistons

Does 950km to a tank, has bluetooth and above average oem sound system
