Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a t5 transporter to go surfing in. As I currently drive a Mini Cooper S its going to be a big change for me. As I like to be able to keep up or pass slow drivers I'm now thinking of what engine I should be looking at. The 2.5 tdi 128kw seems to be very popular here in Australia but there are a number of 3.2 v6 173 kw engines vans around. Obviously with the price of fuel these days I need to consider this aspect as well.
My preference is the V6 but would like all points of view and what I need to look out for in 2nd hand vans around the 2005 model year. Any help in my decision making process would be appreciated.
regards to all
