Its been a while since posting in the MK2 forum as I sold my FR TFSI to buy a house.
The job I'm now doing means I'm covering 20 to 25K per year and my MK1 Cupra is having a love affair with the petrol station; driving carefully I'm regularly seeing 38-40mpg however filling up every 2 days is getting tiresome!
No decisions made yet but I'm considering a used MK2 FR TDI or a Sport TDI DSG. I'm expecting to see around 55mpg out of both models as I'm able to get 38-40 from a 1.8T. Whilst the 140 is a bit slower than 170 I'm guessing it it will be more economical even with the DSG. Looking around on the net I can get a 57 plate Sport DSG for 11K whereas the FR is around 13K for a 56 plate.
Does the sport have the same harsh suspension as in the FR or is it a bit softer? . After doing a bit of research the FR & Sport seem to have a very similar spec apart from bumpers, is this correct?
I've only ever heard good things about ths DSG, is it costly to service?
Interested to hear from FR diesel and sport dsg owners on how you are finding the running costs etc!
