Am4nf, there's no chance you got the 10mpg or whatever it was in a diesel astra, it just can't be done.
Maybe you were driving a 1.6 and didn't realise.
I'd have the toureg out of the choices.

My bro has an Astra CDTi 150 and my Mate has the Passat 130 Highline.
Id take the passat too or the Toureg if it wasn't me paying the diesel costs.

How can you not know whether the car you are driving in is a diesel or petrol?
Ok even if you can't here the engine you can still tell by how the power is deliered.
