DarrenL Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a new Q5 2.0. However I'm torn between Petrol and Diesel. Apart from the difference in MPG which I am aware of, has anybody got any words of wisdom to help with my decision please to do with quality of drive, performance, other considerations etc. Many Thanks Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Welcome to the forum Darren, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The things you have to ask yourself is what miles you are doing each year, what kind of miles are these? how long do you intend to keep the car for?

DarrenL Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks Steve. It will be a 3 year lease and I'll be doing around 15k a year, motorway, city and rural! Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Hmm a tough one. I have diesel but I do 20-24k miles a year. Depending on the percentage you do of each driving style then I'd question whether petrol would be better for you. Especially as it is still unclear on how far the government will go with regard to taxing diesels. I suspect the resale value will be better with the petrol.
