Not sure if trolling....

MPG - have yet to get less than 50mpg, back in the warmer months I was touching 56mpg from a tank and that was ragging the car about. Yours must be broken, or like we mentioned in another thread, you have yet to own a HDi during warmer months, and MPG suffers when it's cold out...

Basically it all comes down to what the two cars cost both when new and now, as this is vastly different and makes comparing the two of them like-for-like a completely retarded exercise.

Cost of a 3-door D-Turbo HDi brand new - £10,995
Valuation of my car now (dealer price) - £1,133

Cost of a 3-door GT TDi 130 brand new - £13,950
Valuation of a car of similar age and mileage to mine now (dealer price) - £2,990

Whilst £3k difference might not sound like much more it's some 27% more expensive, so regardless of inflation etc. that's quite some difference!

Whilst the residual / used costs are much more different, with a Golf in similar condition to my D-Turbo being more than twice as expensive on the used market.

This is getting tedious now Tom, and the comparisons have to stop.
