I know there are a few threads on this but I have the added consideration of it being a company car and the two cars attract quite different costs due to emmisions/car tax etc...
The long and short of it is that I would need to spend an extra £1000 PER YEAR to have the 2.0 over the 1.4 - and so it would be useful to hear from those that have tried both engines as to whether they think the 2.0 is worth an extra £3000 over 3 years.
I have tried the 2.0 DSG and it was obviously very nice, I am just off now to try the 1.4 to get a comparison. I have read all the reviews and I get the impression that the 1.4 is a great engine and only 0.8 slower to 60. Though I know there will be the people that say the 2.0 is the only choice. Given the £1000 per year extra, is this still true ?
I have a 1.8T cupra (180) at the moment and this gives me the power I need, the 1.4 would be very slightly slower than this, the 2.0 about 0.5s quicker.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
