umm i seem so confused as what diff between lcr mpg and ibiza mk3 is????? etc
they probably average roughly about the same I would have thought...prob a little lower on the LCR though

I would say Higher on the LCR could be wrong tho

well i travel 30miles a day usually and looking to see what would suit me best etc as i like both the lcr and mk3 ibizas
well I'd say theres more to it than MPG, how big a car do you need? Have you checked insurance for both? LCR is more expensive on insurance.

Don't take my word for it,Imo i would be looking at the mk3 cupra if want cheaper mpg
Just depends really on mods wise too. I know LCR will be my next car if i put my mk3 cupra up for sale.
Agree tho both fantastic cars, and you don't see them everyday do you

well theres a red lcr comes to my work every year for a mot and its well nice. bt then i think oh i hardly ever see these but on the other hand i dont see any mk3 ibiza cupras but lots of mk3 s models. im happy that i can insure either and are both similar as for me to insure an ibiza without mods is 800 with 2yr no claims and 900 for a lcr. and im only 22.
My LCR can get anything from 22mpg to 38mpg on a long slow 50-60mph run. In traffic it's at it's worst. Typically I get an average of 32mpg on a mixture of town driving and A roads.
Regarding insurance I am under £300 a year with Admiral or Elephant. I change between them most years to get the best deal even though they are the same company. Thus year I took out the multi car policy and it's only £230!
in my lcr i get between 17 and 25 mpg
