I'm still looking for a Leon at the moment and have only been looking at the FR TDI 170 model.
I read another post on here and someone was suggesting the guy goes for the Petrol option as with him only doing a few miles a day there's not really any benefit in a diesel.
This has got me thinking.....
I reckon at the moment the car would do around 200 miles a week on average, which would be about 10k a year.
I'm looking to spend up to £13,500 and was hoping for an 08 plate car with 20k or less.
Obviously there's a premium to pay for a TDI compared to the Petrol but in reality how much is it going to save me?
Tax is £150 on the TDI, and i assume £215 on the Petrol per year?
The TDi should average around 40-45 mpg i'm told, but what about the Petrol? 30-35?
Is the 2.0 FSi T Engine in the FR the same lump as the Skoda VRs, Leon Cupra & Golf GTi? with 200bhp?
I'm really just trying to get my head round this as potentially i could get a really nice new low mileage FR Petrol compared to the TDi version for £13,500
