Hello All,
I'm new to the world of PUG and am thinking of buying a 306 diesel as a daily hack. There doesn't seem to be a buyers guide on here - I searched and got nowhere. Have I missed it?
So - I do approx 250-275 mile per week - mostly A and B roads. I spend about 20% of the time in 5th so you get the idea. 20% is on narrow windy single track Yorkshire B roads where some of the hairpins are 1st gear up hill. I do love the Pennines but my bank balance doesn't. I'm on first name terms with all the local petrol stations as I drive a Subaru Forester! I'm getting approx. 26mpg when I drive like a vicar!!
So the plan is to get a 306 diesel. I'm thinking of the pros and cons of XUD vs. HDI if anyone can advise. I want something reliable and economical.
What about these????

All advice appreciated. Thanks,
