You're going to miss the power of the Cupra for sure but it is something that you get used to.
Was in the same situation as you a couple of years ago, starting doing a 50 mile round trip for my commute and the fuel costs were just prohibitive (£300+ a month). But if you're doing motorway miles the 184\GTD will be ideal, it'll literally do that all day and return good MPG. Plenty of power for overtaking, have never felt it wanting in that department.
Unfortunately at the moment due to roadworks I am spending most of my time in average speed check zones, this does mean however on my morning commute I get nigh on 60mpg every day and almost 600 miles to a tank. Looked at a GTD before the Leon, its really lovely but having just moved house I couldnt justify the price difference!
