So I ended up with a new A3 TDI. It's pretty sharp, very smooth on the road, and has a solid build/interior as Audi typically do. Just picked it up tonight, so I'm anxious to follow the MPG. I needed something quick, so grabbed one from a local lot - it didn't have sport package, but the all-seasons are probably more useful, given its a DD. Thanks for the advice.

Congrats! Why the A3 TDI and not a Golf TDI?

Audi A3's are pretty rare around here - I have actually never seen a A3 TDI before, only 2.0T's.

VW TDIs are EVERYWHERE though...basically 8/10 VW's are TDIs.

Anyways, got pics of your new DD?

Congrats on the new ride

I'm actually looking for a 2006 Civic Sedan with 5MT. Gas saver (87 octane!) & reliable.

Get a Honda Civic. I've got a Honda Civic SI from 2002 and it has 90000 miles on it. No problems at all.

Very nice choice, enjoy the new car!

VW diesels, they get insane gas mileage.

The 335d and X5d gas mileage is not as good as people think, real world driving.

Thanks. So far so good. Averaging about 45mpg on my daily commute. I ended up getting the Audi over VW for the little things, I suppose. Little things here and there just felt nicer. They are rarer, yes, which is nice. Also, I've had a bad experience with VW in the past (the infamous VW "gremlins"). I'll try to snap some pics soon.
