I bought a cheap tatty 3.0-litre petrol D3 with CVT box a couple of years ago, simply to poach the nice wheels from it.

It was OK, achieved about 35mpg from memory, and I remember the 'slingshot' effect which you talk of but I certainly wouldn't seek to own another and it just wasn't a particularly nice drive in the A8.
