I don't remember ever slagging them off.
Just standing up for the petrol turbo peeps on a forum dominated by derv geeks.
You will never see me typing any of the derv catch prases like (dark side) and (derv torque FTW)
Any car with a turbo gets my respect, solvent or oil powered.
I actually wanted a leon FR petrol DSG but could only find one and it was a bit tatty to say the least and had a reverse select fault.
I then went to find an FR petrol that had the right spec,miles and and no stone chips, trolly dings or kerbed wheels and failed.
I went for the TDI as there is a lot more choice and I got one with the options I wanted.
TBH I think the leon 170 goes about the same as my 150 petrol
ibiza but the MPG should be a bit better.
BTW the leon 170 is not as good as the
ibiza 130 when it comes to MPG, most 170 peps seem to get mid 40's
