Nope, my sport has cruise control,dual zone climatic heating and air con,tyre pressure sensors,st wheel audio controls etc just like Fr only difference is seats,bumpers (easy changed) different style of 17" alloys.and not forgetting the 170ps engine with DPF.
 
OH YEAH, the FR comes with an FR badge on the boot. The Sport doesn't. :no:

Only kiddin'

With all those options your Sport must have cost more new than an FR would have done.

Don't forget the brakes, sporty ratio gearbox, sporty suspension, gear knob, steering wheel, privicy glass
and the exhaust tailpipes.

my sport has sporty supension and gearbox twin exhaust but not sure about the brakes might be smaller?
 
gearbox in FR and sport are slightly different ratio i believe. Brakes in sport are 288mm to the FRs 312mm on front. suspension could be same, but not sure.
 
I only thought the Ecomotive now came as a 105PS 1.9TDi (116mph / 10.9s 0-60).

I thought the Sport came with a 2.0TDi 140PS (125mph / 9.3s 0-60)

The FR 2.0TDi 170PS is about 8.0s 0-60 and 133mph

ive had my FR at 136 and it still had some poke left!!.. maybe i shouldnt be saying that tho :whistle:
 
People seem to all ways worry about the DPF. on this site you here of about 6 people with problems, 1000s of cars sold with dpf so you you would expect a few to go wrong. how about this then 3 year old vw Golf tdi GT 170 DSG dpf 3,220 miles, never been more than a 20 mile r ound trip most of the time just driven to the shops never had the dpf light come on,

VAG has had quite a few issues with DPF's and Pump Duse engines due to the emssions being harder to regulate with a PD injection system. Far less issues with the CR + DPF not heard of any so far...........

However there are many similar cars like yours out there that have not had issues. Forums tend to be places people gravitate to to disscus problems.
 
To be fair, my DPF has been problem free, it was a wiring loom & fuse that made it look like sensors had gone on mine. I've done near 14k in 14 months, with alot of 2,3,4 mile trips
