I am going to order a new Leon SC FR on Monday. I was strongly determined on the 1.8 TSI since my current Leon mk2 is also 1.8 TSI (albeit 160 HP) and I love it! Until today...
I have just test driven the 2.0 TDI 184 PS and I liked it very much - it sounds pleasant almost like a gasoline, the throttle response is so sharp (especially in sport mode) and there's so much power and torque. And so I am in a dilemma now. I am not a high mileage driver though. With my current Leon I've been doing 12000 km per year on average (~7500 miles). I've done a rough calculation showing me that the price premium of the diesel car will be exactly compensated by the low consumption compared to the gasoline but is it worth it?
What do you think?
