A4 Avant TDI 190 v TFSI 190?

[s3pc1234]

Hi All,

New joiner here.  Currently considering buying an A4 Avant, hopefully 2016 or newer. Have owned a string of diesels over the last few years but now doing fewer miles (~8k pa v prev 12-14K) so looking at petrol alternatives - useage is still 70 : 30 in favour of long journeys v short. 

So I'm afraid its another of those 'any common problems' type posts - but my primary concerns are :

1. TDI - ad blue complication puts me off.....

2. 2.0 TFSI - heard they can burn oil and will it feel a bit short on torque against TDI's?  Particularly keen on 50-70mph shove for joining m/ways etc. 

Will be manual as for some reason just dont enjoy driving autos, even modern ones....

I recognise with any vehicle of this age, condition and service history are key but would value inputs from anyone who has owned either of these. 

Many thanks!

Phil
