Fast Diesel
Okay I "may" have a new job coming up, problem is it's a good 30 mile drive from me.
And this is why i want a diesel for good MPG.
However I'm a but fussy
and require a very fast one if possible (~7's 0-60 as an idea), wouldnt mind at all getting an ECU reprogram.
Can anyone recommend one?
Have about 14-15k to spend
Also looking at my finances, Its almost certain I will need to get rid of the S
.

and as soon as diesels get interesting performance in the bigger cars.. the mpg can drop off quite a bit..and be worse than the S2000..
it would need to be small and light to get best of both worlds..

I was thinking perhaps a Seat or VW, possibly a new'ish Seat leon.

It is when its primarilary motorway miles .
.You won't find a "fast" diesel that does >35mpg.
You think mid 30's is good mpg and will save you money.
most will go up well past 200bhp and the 3.0l Audis will be well up there
