I had an Astra 1.9 CDTI 150 which was tuned to 212hp 327lb but also had an economy map which was good for over 500 miles to a tank.
I just had to sell it though as front wheel drive is horrid and the power band of the diesel engine sucks plus, nothing then a lump of power for about 1500rpm and then change gear! The torque steer was also unbearable and felt like it was trying to put me in a hedge all the time.

Make sure you test drive pretty much everything you are even slightly interested in and don't drive around like an old lady just because the sales person is with you.

celtictuning did my remap and it was well worth it for the extra MPGs.

As for DSG, the new unit in the BMWs is fantastic, was driving a brand new 650i vert for a week while the M6 was getting a new clutch and the 8 speed box is bloody amazing compared to the SMG in the M6. Just a shame the TT V8 sounds like crap compared to the NA V10!

But like I said, Drive everything you can before you buy [thumbup]
