Thanks I was just curious as the seat website specs doesn't mention if they are heated or not.

- 16tdi disappointed mpg

60 mpg is defo possible
I picked mine up on saturday and I was averaging 57mpg yesterday - its down to 48 at the moment, but I did fill up at Asda, and their fuel is probably crap, anyhow I'm well pleased. My old 1.4 mk3 could barely manage 35mpg on the motorway!
how fast do you drive on the motorway for these 200 mile journeys? be HONEST.
driving at 80 is massively different to 60.
also revs on one element of economy driving.
there is also throttle use and anticipation.

mine seems slightly better now its had its first service, do they reset the average mpg bit as it seems to give a high reading straight away now?

All depends on your driving. My mpg can vary between 40 anywhere up to 70. If im less heavy footed and follow the gear change indicator then i get excellent mpg.

Yeh i tend to get about this on average. You can get much better mpg tho with steady driving (if you want to). I've no complaints anyway !!

I like it, the bluetooth system is excellent and the cars build quality seems to be a good step up from the previous generation. I do find the 1.6 CR TDI is quite easy to stall compared to the 1.4 TSI I had previously. With the 1.4 TSI you could pull off in 4th gear lol.

I know what you mean, it seems really solid doesn't it.
Bluetooth system is top.. although i have had some problems trying to download phonebook from my phone, by this i mean it won't (and it's only a bog standard nokia (works phone) so you'd think it would be able to do it, anyway i have had to put phonebook entries in manually, bit bab but other than that, all good.
Liking the cornering fog light function aswell.
How many miles are people getting out of a full tank?
I don't think there is any way to download the phonebook but its not such a big issue for me. My iPhone also works well with the USB lead the dealer provided. I was also impressed to find the car fitted with Goodyear Excellence tyres.

That's a relief - I though I had suddenly became a bad driver after getting a new car, as I was under the illusion diesels were a lot harder to stall - but clearly not the 1.6
It's a lot easier to stall than my old 1.4 mk3!
