Hi guys, been mooching about this site for a while now, but am thinking about upgrading from my 2015 Leon SC184 to 2018/19 Cupra 300 5 door due to reduction in my commute along with concerns over getting another diesel and not being able to sell it in 3/4 years time due to tax increases etc...
I'm currently only in the office once a week (110 mile round trip which is 90% motorway) due to covid, but even post covid (whenever that will be) I expect it to only be 3 days a week which will bring my mileage down to approx 16k/year.
I'm thinking a manual due to mostly motorway miles and have read that the wheel hop is easier to manage with a manual as well (i don't have a heavy right foot and won't be launching it everywhere..)
So...
1. What sort of mpg am I looking at assuming commute will mostly be in comfort mode running 70-80mph, mid 30s?
2. Assuming running comfort mode around town/getting onto motorway, how bad is wheel hop likely to be in a manual? I don't tend to mash the throttle from a standing start and my manual FR184 has the same amount of torque (less power obvs) and I don't have any issues with that?
Appreciate any advice and thanks in advance, Neil
