Hi everyone first post , thinking of buying ds4 I was going to try the air dream egs6 but i'been put off a bit by some of the posts on this forum ! I've got a passat diesel with the dsg box which is great but I'll be changing to the Citroen in the near future can anyone recommend the best diesel I'll be buying a used one , what's the fuel consumption like on the 2 lt diesel if it's not to bad would consider that model but probably go for a manual, any advice would be appreciated.

Getting about 51mpg from my 160 Dsport and would highly recommend it.

Hi & Welcome
I managed 62mpg last weekend on mostly A roads I have 2.0 160 Dstyle & I love it !!!

Go for manual. EGS box is fine most of the time but when it plays up itsw a pain.

 

[SBK61]

Go for a manual 2.0 hdi 160 they are good , the egs box can be a dog .

Thanks everyone I think I'm going for the 2 lt diesel sounds like it fits the bill.

Agrees with SBK. I'd go for the 2.0L hid. It's the dogs bo##ox˜� x

I have just got the 1.6 Hdi and am surprised at how well it pulls, it's quite nippy in yhe 1-3 gears, but if you want pull at high end then go for 2.0ltr

I've just gone from a 2.0ltr petrol so I've had my fun at pulling away and leaving 3.0ltr Audi's standing

Go for 2litre 160bhp diesel great car!! EGS can be a real pain in the arse

Personally i really like the EGS box. It does take some getting used to, but once you know the quirks of what you can and can't do it just like any other auto box that i've driven. Tis my first auto i've owned and i love the simplicity of it. Plus there is always the even more fun option of dropping her into manual and using the shift paddel's! I find i don't do that too often though as the mpg drops significantly!

hi everyone just thought i'd update you on my choice i'm now the proud owner of a babylon red 2ltr dsport 2500 miles on the clock and i love it! it's a long time since i've seen a car that looks so good, citroen have got the styling of this car just right it looks good and it drives like a dream, my passat dsg highline was a hard act to follow but it didn't have the looks but drove like a dream, lots of posts about ipod connectivity but i'm getting to grips with it and have to say the sound is pretty good, the phone hasn't been a problem either clear as a bell well chuffed.

Congrats on a good choice Bandit. I think the key with iPod connectivity is persevere
