Just signed up so this is my first post. We (me and the wife) are looking at the Scirroco as the wifes lease car is up for re-newal shortly. She fell in love with it as soon as she saw it in the showroom. Currenlty have a Golf tdi sport. Kids now grown up so family car not essential any more.
The issue we have is which model. Whilst the 1.4 TSI is the cheapest, the TDI will give better economy. Driving 20k a year the TDI should give us the best overall cost. What I would ilke to know is what is the mpg we could expect from the 1.4? The daily commute is 25 miles each way, half motoroway. The offical combined figure is 42mpg I think. Is this achievable? This car should have a petrol engine, BUT need to watch the bank balance.
Also, any issues with the 1.4? Small engine - high output - short life?? I know the Scirrco is too new for long term trouble but has been in the Golf for a while.
Any info would be helpfull.
