Hi everyone
I am just trying to figure out my next moves in terms of car. I have a test drive booked for the 1.8 version on Friday and I happened to find myself looking into the VW golf too. Curiosity took hold and I found that the VW Golf GTI 2ltr does the same MPG as the 1.8 Seat.
Granted the price of insurance and initial cost of the car is different but I like the idea of even more power and toys with the same fuel economy.
Because of that I then found myself looking at the 1.4 Seat, that has more torque (just) than the 1.8 engine which is sort of the important bit and will still be more than powerful enough for what I want. The only thing that I would be missing is the DSG box.
So here is my few questions;
1. What does the 1.8 have over the 1.4 that I can't add to the 1.4 version?
2. Should I save myself a couple of grand and go with the 1.4?
3. What are your personal thoughts on the 1.4 vs 1.8?
Thanks
