The cylinder cut tech is apparently in the 2.0. Last night the guy was saying it will drop down to 2 cylinders when possible.

I think the mpg just threw me a little last night as we were in eco mode the whole way, apart from 3 or 4 little spurts pulling the shifter down and into sport mode. It wasn’t driven that hard at all - and even in just eco mode it only achieved 32mpg.
My round trip is 80+ each day. I do notice from start the mpg is not good until warm and running and if I do up to 5 miles it’s not great but I rarely do this so expect on a test run you see that. Funny the salesman I did the test with did the same so there must be something in it. But I kept selecting sport as knew the car from the other half’s
The wife has a 1.4 Fr (125) and she only gets a few MPG more than me even. I am Happy with diff for the extra BHP
Depends on your usage def see acceptable figures on my commute. But just wanted to add it’s a long commute so a good run. If all short journeys would expect a drop and I have disabled start stop as annoys me.
Not sure about the cylinder change. Maybe in the link Steve supplied can find more.

I could be wrong ( it has happened before
), but I'm pretty sure the 2.0 Tsi doesn't have ACTI could be wrong ( it has happened before
i was only going on what the guy in the dealership said last night - appears a different message is being given by who ever you speak to
My commute to work is about 15 miles each way most days (a mixture of 40/50/60mph roads, with a bit of stop start for the last mile).
Then a few days a week I am doing longer journeys - around a 50 mile round trip from work to home - mainly motorway.
I am not buying the car for mega mileage, but just nice to know it will be frugal if needs be.
I currently get about 90 miles from £20 in my current car (a strange measure, granted, but it is what i have always used in my head to compare cars and what mileage they each achieve) - so would be hopeful i can get about 110-120 miles out of £20 in the 190.
Thats absolute bull**** They only make it sound like that until you tell them you have a better deal elsewhere.... You must be well off because I can tell you now... you could get at least £500 off without trying... I got £1000 off a price where they said they couldn't do a better deal.
Tell them lies.... just like they are telling you lies... if you don't you will be paying them their bonuses.
This time of year they are desperate to get ANY sort of sales.
Also 2.0 tsi does NOT have ACT.... more bull****.
Don't be a mug and be prepared to walk away if they will not move.

Never believe the dealers; most of them are clueless. Guy I bought my 280 from (secondhand) was asking me about the performance figures and was very taken aback when I told him off for putting 95 octane in it.i was only going on what the guy in the dealership said last night - appears a different message is being given by who ever you speak to
Ran mine on 95 since had it no issues. Tried 98 once didn’t notice a diff to be honest although was BP and that always comes out worse on high octane ones.
tank of fuel and new mats and mud flaps a must have I would say. They always got them lying around.

Going to book in for a morning view on Saturday.
Mud flaps i can take or leave, but tank of fuel, mats and full valet would be what i am after.

So went to see the car today and it was nice, loved the digital display and heated seats, but it was in a built up area of 30 and 40mph roads with a stretch of 50mph for about 20 seconds - so couldn’t really test the car properly - and the test drive lasted literally 5 mins. Luckily I had a proper test drive of the one last week, otherwise I wouldn’t have any idea how this would drive properly.
the guy today was too busy to look after me properly as had a load of 20 reg cars to hand over, so left me with his colleague who didn’t really “Sell” me the car and just asked if I knew much about it etc.
it was in great condition apart from a few stone chips on the front - but a few more than I would have liked, and although he said they would be touched up, I still know they are there and will play havoc with the ocd side of my brain (I fully understand and appreciate there will be a few marks on a year old car, but I was just a bit “meh” about how many (not loads, but a few more than I would have liked).
he wouldn’t budge on price either as they have someone else looking at it (i believe him on this as I had to cancel and rearrange a time to see the car on Saturday and they said they had someone else coming in to view it and if it sold then they would let me know so I didn’t waste a journey - turns out they couldn’t match this other guys part ex value and he said he would take his car to we buy any car on Monday and see if they can give him a better price) - so it’s a straight “race” between me and A.N.Other to buy it.
comes with a set of mats and £24 of fuel (most they are allowed to put in it) and comes to £16,395. Wouldn’t budge as they are the cheapest on autotrader for similar age and miles (they are, I have checked).
however, I have since found the same age car with just 3k miles on, for only a few hundred more - so have reached out to them for details about their car and I have seen a rather funky looking Orange version (both the one I saw today and the other 3k one are in white) - but the orange one is well over £1,000 more than today’s one - so again I have asked if there is any wiggle room etc.
So not sure what to do now - wasn’t the best customer service today, partly as I had to rearrange my viewing time, and because the main guy was too busy to chat to me properly, but the car was nice.
I have gone back via email to see if there is anything else they are willing to do on price, so we shall see.
it’s a shame the other white one and the orange one are about 2 hours away!

How may miles has it done as £16395 is not bad for a 5-6K miles car. What colour was it? What reg?
You could do what I did and make them an offer of 16K... just because someone else was looking doesn't mean they were buying.
The car has about 9,700 miles on (advertised as 9,687 but it’s been out at least twice this weekend).
19 plate produced in March 2019
the other white one is £16,990, March 2019 and 2,100 miles.
orange one is £17,990 with 11,300 miles (july 2019 car - so a bit younger but higher than average miles).
They are all FR Sport models.
The guys with the stone chip version have come back and said £16,395 is the best they can do (as already keenly priced).
The one with only 2k miles won’t budge on price at all, and works out about £290 a month
the orange one will knock £300 off the price, to bring it down to £17,690 and about £330 a month

Would agree with you and your OCD on the stone chip one. Maybe focus on the others. I have 13k miles and 2 stone chips. They don’t chip that easily. Might be suspicious or previous owner just liked tailgating.
Just my 10 cents.
also are they ST ( estate ) models or hatch as this can vary the price I have the ST. I wanted a black edition but cannot get 2.0 with that version
I drove like a saint this morning as could not be bothered to go to the petrol station and didn’t fancy going to work - 47 MPG. Def bedding in now.
